Who it is for
Executors named in a New Jersey will, people applying to be administrator because there was no will, and the family members helping them.
Not the right fit if
The estate is outside New Jersey, the heirs are in a dispute or someone is contesting the will, or you want someone to handle the estate for you: work with an estate attorney. Not legal or tax advice.
Why it is different
- Surrogate fees, inheritance tax rates and deadlines checked in November 2026, with the statute or official page named.
- Says plainly when a question needs your attorney or accountant, and lists the questions to ask.
- Both formats in one download: EPUB, and the print-layout PDF for the worksheets.
What is inside
- 14 chapters in the order the work happens. Death certificates, the 10-day wait, the county Surrogate and its fees, short certificates, the estate's EIN and bank account, the inventory, notices, the inheritance tax, creditors, the house, income tax returns, commissions and closing the estate.
- A checklist in every chapter. And all of them together in Appendix A.
- One family, followed all year. A worked example with an invented family shows each step with real-looking numbers.
- Worksheets. Asset inventory, creditor log, ledger and a notice-of-death letter.
- Calendar, glossary and sources. A month-by-month calendar for the first year, a glossary, and the official sources behind each fact.

Common questions
What formats do I get, and what can I read it on?
Both, in one zip: an EPUB for e-readers and reading apps (Apple Books, Google Play Books, Kobo, most Android reading apps, and Kindle through Amazon's Send to Kindle, which accepts EPUB files), and the 100-page print-layout PDF for any computer, tablet or phone. There is no DRM. The download link shows right after payment and comes by email. The free sample is the first 10 pages of the PDF.
What's inside?
Fourteen chapters that follow the first year of a New Jersey estate in order: the Surrogate and its fees, letters and short certificates, the estate's EIN and bank account, the inventory, notices, the inheritance tax and the L-8, L-9 and IT-R forms, the 9-month creditor window, the house, final income tax returns, commissions, and the refunding bond and release. Each chapter has a checklist, a worked example and questions for your attorney or accountant; worksheets, a calendar, a glossary and sources are at the back.
Is this legal or tax advice?
No. It is general information about New Jersey estate paperwork. MCC Solutions LLC is not a law firm or a CPA firm. Disputes, a contested will, a business, or a large or complicated estate are for an estate attorney and a tax professional.
