The
court shall determine the amount of the elective share and shall order its
payment from the assets of the augmented estate or by contribution as appears
appropriate in the manner as hereinafter set forth in this chapter. If it
appears that a fund or property included in the augmented estate has not come
into the possession of the personal representative, or has been distributed by
the personal representative, the court nevertheless shall fix the liability of
any person who has any interest in the fund or property or who has possession
thereof, whether as trustee or otherwise. The proceeding may be maintained
against fewer than all persons against whom relief could be sought, but no
person is subject to contribution in any greater amount than he would have been
if relief had been secured against all persons subject to contribution.
L.1981,
c. 405, s. 3B:8-15, eff. May 1, 1982.
