There is no Affidavit procedure available in New Jersey. There is a summary probate procedure, but only if there's no valid Will:
1. If the value of all property is less than $50,000, and the surviving spouse or registered domestic partner is entitled to all of it.
2. If the value of all property is less than $20,000, and there is no surviving spouse or registered domestic partner, one heir, with the consent of the others, can file an Affidavit with the court and receive all of the assets.
New Jersey, like most states, does not impose an estate or inheritance tax. Only a few states do.
New Jersey does NOT offer a statutory transfer on death deed (TODD), (despite incorrect statements you may find on some internet websites).
Most states in the northeast do not have statutory TODDs.
However, as of 2023, New Jersey now allows TOD registration for motor vehicles.
