                                                             GENERAL
New Jersey has had a Transfer Inheritance Tax since 1892 when a 5% tax was imposed on property transferred from a decedent
to a beneficiary.  Currently, the law imposes a graduated Transfer Inheritance Tax ranging from 11% to 16% on the transfer of real and
personal property with a value of $500.00 or more to certain beneficiaries.
The  Transfer Inheritance  Tax recognizes five beneficiary                 The issue of stepchildren ARE Class “D” (NOT Class “A”)

                        INSTRUCTIONS FOR SCHEDULE “A”
                        Only list real property situated in New Jersey

DESCRIPTION:            The real property should, wherever possible, be described by lot and block number, or street
and street number, or by a general description, with a reference to a record of the deed by which title was conveyed.

MORTGAGES:   List as deduction(s) in Schedule D.

FRACTIONAL INTEREST:    If the decedent owned a fractional interest, state the names in which the realty
was held, whether as joint tenants with right of survivorship or as tenants in common, and set forth in detail how the
interest was acquired.  Submit a copy of the deed.

TENANTS BY THE ENTIRETY: Real property held by husband and wife/civil union partners, as “tenants
by the entirety” in the estate of the spouse/civil union partner dying first need not be reported.

OTHER LIENS:            Taxes, assessments, accrued interest on mortgages, etc. must not be claimed in this schedule
but are to be listed on Schedule  “D” of this return.

WAIVERS:     Unpaid inheritance taxes constitute a lien on real property and waivers are therefore required to
transfer said real property, with the exception of real property held by husband and wife/civil union partners as
“tenants by the entirety” in the estate of the spouse/civil union partner dying first.

CO-OPS:      A membership certificate or stock in a New Jersey cooperative housing corporation held in the name
of the decedent and a surviving spouse/civil union partner or domestic partner as joint tenants with the right of
survivorship is exempt, if it entitled them to use it as their principal residence.  However a waiver is required for this
transfer in the estate of a resident decedent.  (This should be reported on Schedule “B(1)-Stock”).

CONDOMINIUMS:           An interest in a condominium is an interest in Real Property and therefore reportable on
Schedule “A”.

APPRAISALS:  Submit a copy of any appraisal, contract of sale and/or closing statement.  Only recital or
valuation page of appraisals are initially required.  Additional supporting documentation will be requested if needed.

Insert this total on Page 1, Line 3 “All Other Personal Property

                                 GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS FOR SCHEDULE “B (1)”
List all other personal property (excluding that on Schedule B) including all tangible personal property located permanently
in New Jersey.
These schedules must disclose not only all other personal property owned individually by the decedent but also all other
personal property standing in joint names (such as United States Savings Bonds, bank accounts, shares of stock, etc.) which may
be claimed by another or others as survivors.
Unless the surviving joint tenant is also a Class A beneficiary (see General Instructions), the transfer of ownership to a
surviving joint tenant or tenants pursuant to a joint tenancy with the right of survivorship is a transfer subject to tax.  The deceased
joint tenant is deemed to have been the absolute owner of the property and the survivor/survivors are presumed to have received
a devise or bequest of the whole and not a part of the property.  This presumption can be rebutted to the extent that the survivor
can prove contributions out of funds separate and apart from those that originated in the decedent.  All joint assets including those
passing to exempt beneficiaries and those claimed not to have belonged to the decedent must be listed, with full market value as
of date of death.

These schedules must list all other intangible personal property such as, but not limited to, United States Savings Bonds;
treasury certificates; cash on hand; cash in the bank; deposits in Federal or State Credit Unions; mutual funds; bonds and
mortgages; promissory notes; claims; accounts receivables; corporate bonds; corporate stocks; accrued interest; dividends; salaries
or wages; insurance payable to the estate or its representatives; interest in any undistributed estate or income from any property
held in trust under the will or agreement of another, even though physically located outside the state at the time of death.

Waivers are not required for automobiles, household goods, accrued wages or mortgages, but these items must be reported on
Schedule B-1 “All Other Property”.

A membership certificate or stock in a New Jersey housing corporation held in the name of the decedent and a surviving
spouse/civil union partner or domestic partner as joint tenants with the right of survivorship is exempt, if it entitled them to use it
as their principal residence; however, a waiver is required for this transfer in the estate of a resident decedent.

                                     INSTRUCTIONS FOR SCHEDULE “D”
If any notes, brokerage accounts or other claims are secured by collateral, describe the collateral pledged, with
its value as of the date of death of the decedent and state whether or not said collateral is included among the assets
disclosed in Schedule B or B(1).  If collateral is not pledged, state after each loan “No collateral pledged”.
NOTE: No debt or claim is to be listed in this schedule unless still owing and unpaid at the time of death and unless
such debt or claim is to be paid out of the assets of the estate.
(EXAMPLE: That portion of medical bills paid or reimbursed by Medicare or other medical insurance
                        should not be claimed on this schedule).
Contested claims must be explained in detail.  Do not list any taxes, either real, personal or income, chargeable
for any period subsequent to date of death; nor any claim against property located outside of New Jersey, unless such
property is subject to tax in this state.
The estate agrees to advise the Division if the amount actually paid in settlement of any fee, commission or debt
is greater or less than the estimated amount allowed and further agrees to the correction of the assessment, if
necessary.
For mortgages list the balance on the decedent's date of death and the property in Schedule A on which the
mortgage is an encumbrance.  Each mortgage must be listed separately.  State whether there was any mortgage
insurance and, if so, submit verification as to the amount of same.  Note:  In the case of realty held by a decedent
and a surviving spouse/civil union partner as tenants by the entirety, the amount of any mortgage owing on such
realty at the decedent’s death is not allowable as a deduction since such property is exempt from the Inheritance Tax.
