New Jersey is a judicial foreclosure state, so a lender has to go through the Superior Court to take a home. Before filing, the lender must send a Notice of Intention to Foreclose at least 30 days in advance, and homeowners who live in a one to four family home can ask for free court mediation within 60 days of being served.

Medical decisions are handled by a separate document, a health care proxy (proxy directive).
