Power of attorney in New Jersey: financial POA vs. health care proxy
A New Jersey power of attorney lets you name someone (your attorney-in-fact) to handle your finances and legal affairs. To keep working if you later lose capacity, it has to say so, and it must be in writing, signed and acknowledged before an officer such as a notary or New Jersey attorney. Medical decisions are handled by a separate document, a health care proxy (proxy directive).

New Jersey inheritance tax: who pays, rates and tax waivers
New Jersey still has an inheritance tax, but the estate tax ended for deaths on or after January 1, 2018. Whether inheritance tax is owed depends on who inherits: spouses, children, grandchildren, parents and stepchildren (Class A) and charities (Class E) pay nothing, while siblings and children-in-law (Class C) and most others (Class D) can owe 11% to 16%. The tax is due within 8 months of death.
