New Jersey Sample Letter for Closure of Estate — Expiration of Probating Claims: [Your Name] [Your Address] [City, State, Zip Code] [Email Address] [Phone Number] [Date] [Recipient's Name] [Recipient's Address] [City, State, Zip Code] Subject: Closure of Estate — Expiration of Probating Claims Dear [Recipient's Name], I hope this letter finds you in good health and high spirits. I am writing to officially inform you about the closure of [Deceased's Name]'s estate, as the expiration period for probating claims has reached its end. As you might be aware, [Deceased's Name] passed away on [Date of Death], and I was appointed as the executor of their estate. Since then, I have diligently undertaken the responsibilities entrusted to me, ensuring the fair distribution of their assets and addressing any outstanding claims made against the estate. In accordance with the laws of the State of New Jersey and the specific provisions of the New Jersey Probate Code, a creditor has a limited time frame to file a claim against the estate. New Jersey statutes specify that claims must be presented within nine months from the date of the decedent's death (unless an exception applies). I am pleased to inform you that this nine-month period has now expired, and no valid probating claims have been filed or brought to my attention. Therefore, I consider the estate of [Deceased's Name] closed as of [Current Date]. Please be advised that this closure means that any creditor or individual, including yourself, who believes they have a valid claim against the estate but failed to present it within the specified time frame, will be barred from pursuing legal action against the estate for the collection of such a claim. In the case that you believe your claim is still relevant and could not be filed within the given time frame due to exceptional circumstances, I kindly request you to present appropriate evidence supporting your claim within the next 15 days. Such evidence could include a valid legal opinion confirming the exceptional circumstances that prevented the timely filing of your claim. However, if I do not receive any further communication from you within the given timeframe, it will be inferred that there are no outstanding claims against the estate, and I will proceed with the final distribution of the assets among the rightful beneficiaries, as outlined in the decedent's will. Please feel free to contact me at [Your Phone Number] or [Your Email Address] should you have any questions or require further clarification regarding this matter. Thank you for your attention to this letter, and I appreciate your cooperation throughout this process.
