New Jersey Renunciation for Administration is a process that is used when an individual is appointed as a personal representative for a deceased person's estate. This process enables the personal representative to renounce their right to serve as the estate's administrator, thus allowing another individual to take their place. There are two types of New Jersey Renunciation for Administration: Formal Renunciation and Informal Renunciation. Formal Renunciation is a written document that is filed with the court and signed by the renouncing personal representative. The document must include a list of the decedent's assets and liabilities, as well as the name of the individual who is succeeding the renouncing personal representative. Informal Renunciation is a verbal declaration made by the renouncing personal representative in front of two witnesses, who must sign an affidavit attesting to the declaration.
