Question

What is the statute of limitations in NJ for transferring ownership of property under the will?

Answer

The executor should transfer ownership by signing a Deed to whoever is entitled to get the property, as soon as that can be done. I do not understand your question. Contact me to discuss this, and I will see if I can assist you. It sounds like there is something going on with a property that you are having problems with.

Give me a call, make an appointment to come see me, and let's get moving on this for you. No charge for the telephone call and no charge for the first office visit.

Please keep in mind that my response is just a general comment on your question, and not legal advice. I have answered based upon the law of the State of New Jersey where I practice; the laws in other states may be very different, and may result in very different outcomes. Your question and any response does NOT create an attorney-client relationship between you and this law firm. The exact details of your situation and things that you have not mentioned in your question can completely change the response I gave. You can not rely upon what I have written as legal advice, because I do not have all of the information that I need to advise you, I only have the very small amount of information that you put into your question. To get legal advice that you can rely on and use, please contact me directly.

Answer

There is no statute of limitations. Call my office to discuss this matter further.

Answer

I concur - there is no S/L covering this. Property is usually distributed or transferred when the estate is completed and all facets have been finalized. In a simple estate, this can occur in a few months, but complex estates, especially where NJ or federal death taxes are involved, can take much longer, up to several years. More information is needed to give more than a general reply.
