Estate obligated to obtain Release & Refunding Bonds IN THE MATTER OF THE ESTATE OF DOROTHY DREHER

Estate obligated to obtain Release & Refunding Bonds
IN THE MATTER OF THE ESTATE OF DOROTHY DREHER, 
SUPERIOR COURT OF NEW JERSEY APPELLATE DIVISION
DOCKET NO. A-4800-17T3 
Deceased. ________________________________ 
Submitted March 11, 2019 – Decided April 8, 2019 
Before Judges Sumners and Mitterhoff. 
On appeal from Superior Court of New Jersey, Chancery Division, Burlington County, Docket No. 2016-1203. 
NOT FOR PUBLICATION WITHOUT THE 
APPROVAL OF THE APPELLATE DIVISION 
This opinion shall not "constitute precedent or be binding upon any court." Although it is posted on the internet, this opinion is binding only on the parties in the case and its use in other cases is limited. R. 1:36-3. PER CURIAM
Plaintiff Rebecca Dreher-Palombi appeals from the trial court's May 11, 
2018 order denying her motion to enforce litigant's rights and awarding attorney's fees to defendant David Dreher, her brother. We affirm. 
This case arises from a dispute involving the estate of decedent Dorothy Dreher, the mother of the parties. After the decedent's death, defendant probated the decedent's will. Plaintiff thereafter filed a verified complaint objecting to the probated will, claiming that it was not representative of the decedent's wishes, was the result of undue influence by defendant, and was executed at a time when the decedent lacked testamentary capacity. Defendant filed an answer and counterclaim. 
After four intermittent trial days between January and March 2018 before Judge Paula T. Dow, the parties reached a settlement agreement. The settlement was placed on the record on March 8, 2018. Among other things, the settlement provided that the net estate would be split equally between plaintiff and defendant and that each party would bear his or her own legal fees. 
Relevant to this appeal, a settlement provision called for plaintiff to receive an immediate advance on her distribution in the amount of $100,000. On March 20, 2018, defendant's attorney sent a refunding bond and release to plaintiff's attorney, requesting that plaintiff execute the document to receive the $100,000 distribution. On March 27, plaintiff's attorney returned an executed refunding bond and release, with alterations. Among other things, plaintiff removed language requiring plaintiff to refund any part of her distribution 
A-4800-17T3 
should the estate owe any debts or taxes that would not be satisfied with the remaining funds in the estate account. On March 29, 2018, defendant's counsel wrote back to plaintiff's counsel, objecting to the deletion of the refund requirement. 
On April 18, 2018, plaintiff moved to enforce litigant's right and receive the $100,000 advance distribution without being subject to the refund provision of the refund bond. Defendant cross-moved to enforce a prior November 16, 2017 order, which required plaintiff to pay defendant's attorney's fees incurred in connection with defendant's motion to dismiss plaintiff's complaint. Defendant filed this motion after plaintiff's counsel failed to appear at scheduled case management conferences or respond to requests to schedule the deposition of plaintiff. Although the trial court declined to dismiss the complaint on this basis, it ordered that plaintiff was responsible for defendant's attorney's fees and costs incurred in filing and arguing the motion to dismiss.
After hearing oral argument on May 4, 2018, Judge Dow entered an order and written statement of reasons, denying plaintiff's motion and granting 
The November 16, 2017 order directed defendant's counsel to submit a certification of services. On December 5, 2017, counsel submitted a certification of services, to which plaintiff did not object. The trial court did not enter an order granting attorney's fees in the requested amount at that time. 
A-4800-17T3 
defendant's cross-motion on May 11, 2018. In denying plaintiff's request to receive the $100,000 advance without executing a refund bond, the judge reasoned: 
Plaintiff requests an Order enforcing the terms of the Settlement Agreement because the Settlement Agreement did not include the terms encompassed in a Release and Refunding Bond. Despite Plaintiff's assertion that the settlement "was for real money," it appears the parties agreed that each sibling will receive 50% of Decedent's net estate. The $100,000 requested by Plaintiff is not a cash gift, but rather is an early distribution made of her 50% share of Decedent's estate. Due to the nature of the distributions, as opposed to cash settlement payments, the refunding bond requirement of N.J.S.A. 3B:23-24, et seq., applies. It also appears the parties agree the $100,000 was intended to be a distribution from the Estate. The New Jersey statutes governing estate distributions must apply. 
The court denies Plaintiff's request to enforce the settlement because it appears all parties are acting in accord with the Settlement Agreement. Defendant, through [his attorney], is requesting a Refunding Bond and Release consistent with the requirements of N.J.S.A. 3B:23-24. This language allows the advance distribution to be given to Plaintiff, in accordance with the settlement agreement. In short, there is nothing the court can enforce as it is Plaintiff's own actions preventing the early distribution from the Estate. If Plaintiff is alleging the $100,000 remittance is a payment, and not a distribution, it is unclear why she did not take issues with the language of "cash bequest" in the Refunding Bond and Release. Further, the $100,000 payment was framed as a distribution when the parties placed the settlement on the record. The 
A-4800-17T3 
language to which Plaintiff objects is not the language making the $100,000 an estate distribution, but rather that of the releasing the Executor and agreeing to refund. Essentially, Plaintiff is asking the court to order an Estate distribution as if it were a cash payment. This is unsupported by the statutory law and the Settlement Agreement on the record. 
With respect to defendant's cross-motion to enforce the November 16, 2017 order granting attorney's fees, the judge found that the order was entered prior to the parties agreeing to pay their own attorney's fees and was therefore still effective. Additionally, the judge found that the certification of services for the amounts of $1,785 in fees and $36.60 in costs was reasonable under RPC 1.5(a) and had not been objected to by plaintiff. 
On appeal, plaintiff argues that the trial court erred by: (1) violating the parties' settlement agreement and imposing pre-settlement attorney's fees; (2) refusing to enforce litigant's rights; and (3) issuing an order without making supporting finding of facts and conclusions of law. Having reviewed the record and governing legal principles, we affirm for substantially the sound reasons expressed in Judge Dow's thorough statement of reasons. We add only the following brief comments. 
N.J.S.A. 3B:23-24 requires the personal representative of an estate to obtain a refunding bond in order to make any distribution prior to the closing of 
A-4800-17T3 
the estate, and N.J.S.A. 3B:23-26 requires the bond to be conditioned on the devisee returning any portion of the distribution if later needed to discharge any debt. Because the terms of the settlement provided that the $100,000 advance would be a distribution from the estate, these statutory requirements plainly apply. The judge, therefore, correctly concluded that defendant was statutorily obligated to have plaintiff execute a refunding bond to receive her advance distribution from the estate. Thus, the judge properly denied plaintiff's motion to enforce litigant's rights.
The judge also properly enforced the November 16, 2017 order granting attorney's fees to defendant. Prior to the parties reaching the settlement agreement, the judge had already shifted these fees to plaintiff due to her attorney's failure to appear at scheduled case management conferences and to respond to requests to schedule the deposition of plaintiff. The settlement agreement's terms did not alter the responsibility for these fees. Moreover, the judge determined that the amount of fees requested was reasonable, and plaintiff has not objected to the reasonableness of the amount of fees. 
2 While this appeal was pending, plaintiff executed a refunding bond and release on May 18, 2018. 
A-4800-17T3 
To the extent we have not specifically addressed any issues raised by plaintiff, we find they lack sufficient merit to warrant discussion in a written opinion. R. 2:11-3(e)(1)(E). 
Affirmed.

Unsigned Will not admitted to probate -In re Estate of Connolly

Unsigned Will not admitted to probate -In re Estate of Connolly

DOCKET NO. A-3855-17T1 

PER CURIAM
NOT FOR PUBLICATION WITHOUT THE APPROVAL OF THE APPELLATE DIVISION
. On appeal from Superior Court of New Jersey, Chancery Division, Essex County, Docket No. CP-0187-2017. PER CURIAM
Appellants, the godchildren of decedent Julia Eileen Connolly (decedent), appeal from a September 27, 2017 order, dismissing their application to admit to probate a will that decedent neither reviewed nor signed, and admitting to probate decedent's signed will from 1992. They also appeal from a March 23, 2018 order denying their application for counsel fees. We affirm the orders on appeal for the reasons cogently stated by Judge Walter Koprowski, Jr. in his oral opinions issued September 1, 2017, and March 23, 2018.
This case involves a purported will drafted by an attorney who never met decedent. He drafted a seventeen-page will based on a telephone conversation he had with decedent, who was then ninety years old and in fragile health. He never had the chance to review the draft with her, because she unfortunately died the day after their phone conversation. Hence, she never reviewed the completed draft will or even saw it, and she did not give her final approval of the document.
Nearly a decade ago, we held that an unsigned will cannot be admitted to probate under N.J.S.A. 3B:3-3 unless the decedent reviewed the will and, thereafter, finally assented to it.

We hold that for a writing to be admitted into probate as a will under N.J.S.A. 3B:3-3, the proponent of the writing intended to constitute such a will must prove, by clear and convincing evidence, that: (1) the decedent actually reviewed the document in question; and (2) thereafter gave his or her final assent to it. Absent either one of these two elements, a trier of fact can only speculate as to whether the proposed writing accurately reflects the decedent's final testamentary wishes.

[In re Probate of Will and Codicil of Macool, 416 N.J. Super. 298, 310 (App. Div. 2010).]

Two years later, we followed that holding in In re Estate of Ehrlich, 427 N.J. Super. 64, 71-72 (App. Div. 2012).

We agree with Judge Koprowski that Macool is directly on point and definitively bars appellants' claim. Accepting appellants' invitation to focus exclusively on a decedent's intent, without the additional evidence Macool requires, would open the door to fraud and essentially vitiate the requirement of a written will.
We also find no abuse of discretion in Judge Koprowski's decision to deny appellants' counsel fee application, in light of the obvious legal and factual weakness of their case. See R. 4:42-9(a)(3); In re Reisdorf, 80 N.J. 319, 326 (1979) (stating that counsel fees will ordinarily be awarded to both sides in a will contest "[e]xcept in a weak or meretricious case").

This opinion shall not "constitute precedent or be binding upon any court." Although it is posted on the internet, this opinion is binding only on the parties in the case and its use in other cases is limited. R. 1:36-3. Before Judges Nugent and Reisner

                                                      DOCKET NO. A-3145-17T4



Plaintiffs Warren MacDonald III, Heather MacDonald, Ashley Minder, and Kathleen MacDonald appeal from a February 5, 2018 order, dismissing their amended verified complaint seeking to set aside the September 16, 2016 will of decedent Josephine MacDonald and admit to probate a prior will from 2010 and a 2011 codicil. On this appeal, our review is de novo. See Banner v. Hoffmann- La Roche Inc., 383 N.J. Super. 364, 373-74 (App. Div. 2006). We conclude that the amended verified complaint stated a cause of action, and the trial court erred in dismissing the complaint without permitting plaintiffs to take discovery. Therefore, we reverse the order on appeal and remand this matter to the trial court for further proceedings. Because we are reversing on procedural grounds, the essential facts can be stated briefly. Plaintiffs, who were decedent's daughter-in-law and grandchildren, asserted that in a prior will, decedent had left them substantial assets, but she disinherited them in her 2016 will. Plaintiffs alleged that around the time decedent executed the 2016 will, she was mentally confused and sometimes delusional, and lacked testamentary capacity. They also alleged that decedent's daughter exercised undue influence so as to cause her mother to disinherit plaintiffs and leave her entire estate to the daughter. Viewed indulgently, with an eye toward discerning a cause of action, Printing Mart- Morristown v. Sharp Elec. Corp., 116 N.J. 739, 746 (1989), the facts pled in the amended complaint were sufficient to state a cause of action. See In re Estate A-3145-17T4 2 of Folcher, 224 N.J. 496, 512 (2016) (undue influence); In re Will of Liebl, 260 N.J. Super. 519, 524-25 (App. Div. 1992) (lack of testamentary capacity). On November 9, 2017, the trial court issued a detailed case management order, setting dates for discovery, a pretrial conference, and a trial. The parties, in fact, propounded interrogatories, document demands, and deposition notices on each other. However, without providing any discovery, defendants (the Estate and the daughter) filed what they characterized as a motion to dismiss the complaint pursuant to Rule 4:6-2(e).1 The motion was supported by certifications essentially setting forth defendants' side of the case, including certifications from the daughter and the attorney who prepared the will. Over vigorous objection from plaintiffs' counsel - pointing out that he had not obtained any discovery yet, including decedent's medical records and information concerning certain assets left to his clients in the prior will - the trial court converted the motion to dismiss to a summary judgment motion and dismissed the complaint. See R. 4:6-2. 1 Before plaintiffs filed the amended complaint, defendants' counsel had voluntarily provided plaintiffs' counsel with copies of decedent's prior will from 2010 and the 2011 codicil. However, defendants did not respond to plaintiffs' interrogatories, document demands or deposition notices served after the case management conference. A-3145-17T4 3 "Generally, we seek to afford 'every litigant who has a bona fide cause of action or defense the opportunity for full exposure of his case.' When 'critical facts are peculiarly within the moving party's knowledge,' it is especially inappropriate to grant summary judgment when discovery is incomplete." Velantzas v. Colgate-Palmolive Co., 109 N.J. 189, 193 (1988) (citations omitted). Reviewing the record with that standard in mind, we conclude that the trial court acted prematurely in dismissing the complaint based on defendants' one-sided presentation of evidence, without allowing plaintiffs to take any discovery. We appreciate that the court may have believed plaintiffs' case was weak and was concerned that the estate would be consumed with attorneys' fees. Nothing precluded the court from carefully managing discovery, or even permitting defendants to move for partial summary judgment after relevant discovery was complete on a particular issue. However, it was premature and improper to dismiss the complaint on summary judgment without permitting plaintiffs to obtain any discovery. Accordingly, we reverse the order on appeal, reinstate the amended verified complaint, and remand this matter to the trial court. Reversed and remanded. We do not retain jurisdiction. A-3145-17T4

A Will cannot change who your beneficiaries are on accounts or house

A Will cannot change who your beneficiaries are on accounts or house
If there is a beneficiary or joint owner on an account, upon your death that person receives those assets. A basic Will cannot change who your beneficiaries are on accounts or house. Common examples are houses owned husband and wife, joint accounts or POD bank accounts, and anyone you name on IRA, retirement account or SEP.
POD Payable upon death accounts are not part of the Probate Estate or the Will
Assets held by the testator and another person jointly, with a right of survivorship, are said to be held as “Joint Tenants with Right of Survivorship” (JTWROS); and pass by operation of law at the testator’s death to the surviving joint tenant. Bank accounts, securities and real estate are often held in joint tenancy. Assets that are titled this way are not subject to probate. The name on the bank or securities account application and the deed for real estate may read: “John Smith and Jane Doe, as Joint Tenants with Right of Survivorship.” Be careful changing title to existing assets because there can be tax and other consequences.

   Below are the details NJ statutes on joint bank accounts. Hire a NJ attorney if you are the Executor to make sure all taxes paid before bank accounts distributed and spent.

         Registration in beneficiary form may be shown by the words "transfer on death" or the abbreviation "TOD," or by the words "pay on death" or the abbreviation "POD," after the name of the registered owner and before the name of the beneficiary.
