NOTES: If any beneficiary is
claimed to be the mutually acknowledged child of the decedent, said claim
should be set forth in the detailed manner prescribed under N.J.A.C. 18:26-2.6.
For the purposes of the New Jersey Transfer Inheritance Tax an adopted child is
accorded the same status as a natural child and, therefore, his relations are
treated in the same manner as those of a natural child. (i.e. if the decedent’s
adopted son marries, his spouse is “the wife of a son of the decedent” and
therefore a class “C”

ESTATE TAX
In addition to the inheritance tax, the State of New

up by the aggregate amount of all death taxes paid to any State, United States
territory or the District of Columbia. The tax is the difference, if any,
determined by subtracting the amount of the inheritance, legacy and succession
taxes paid to this State and elsewhere from the allowable credit. Even estates
that are partially or fully exempt from the inheritance tax may be subject to
the New Jersey State Tax.
