Workers' Compensation
Hurt at work in New Jersey: workers' comp benefits and deadlines
New Jersey workers' compensation is a no-fault system: if you are hurt on the job, you can get medical care and wage benefits without proving your employer did anything wrong. Temporary disability pays 70% of your average weekly wage, between $320 and $1,199 a week for 2026 injuries. If your claim is denied or disputed, a formal claim petition generally must be filed with the Division of Workers' Compensation within two years.

Writing a will in New Jersey: legal requirements and tax basics
In New Jersey, anyone 18 or older and of sound mind can make a will. A standard will must be in writing, signed by you, and signed by two witnesses, and adding a notarized self-proving affidavit makes probate easier. New Jersey has no estate tax for deaths since January 1, 2018, but it still has an inheritance tax that can apply to gifts to people other than close family.

Probate in New Jersey: steps, timeline and the Surrogate's Court
In New Jersey, probate usually starts at the Surrogate's office in the county where the person lived, and a will generally cannot be probated until 10 days after death. The Surrogate admits the will and issues letters testamentary to the executor, or letters of administration if there is no will. Many estates also need inheritance tax waivers from the Division of Taxation before certain assets can be released.
