§ 18:26-11.3 Consent to transfer not issued

   (a) Before the Director issues any Inheritance Tax consents to transfer the assets of a person dying domiciled in this State, it is required that proof be submitted showing the will of such decedent was originally probated in New Jersey, or that letters of administration were originally granted in this State. If it appears that original probate or original administration was had in a foreign jurisdiction, all consents to transfer the decedent's assets will be withheld and a report made to the county court of the county in which a decedent died domiciled, or to the Superior Court until an order is issued from the court.

(b) The provisions of (a) above shall not apply in cases where it appears to the Director that neither the probate of a decedent's will nor the grant of letters of administration are required by the laws of this State. In any case, however, the Director may, at his discretion, issue any and all Inheritance Tax consents to transfer the assets of a decedent where in his judgment, the collection of the Transfer Inheritance Tax payable to New Jersey would be jeopardized by the withholding of such consent.
