New Jersey Consent of Heir is a legal document used in New Jersey to transfer property, such as real estate, automobiles, and personal property, to a person’s heirs upon their death. The Consent of Heir is filed with the Surrogate’s Court in the county where the deceased lived at the time of their death. There are two types of New Jersey Consent of Heir: the Consent of Heir With a Will and the Consent of Heir Without a Will. The Consent of Heir With a Will is used when the deceased left a valid, legally executed Will, and the Consent of Heir Without a Will is used when the deceased did not leave a Will. The Consent of Heir must be signed by the heir and notarized by a notary public. In both cases, the Consent of Heir must provide information about the deceased, the heir, the property to be transferred, and any necessary court filings.
