N.J.A.C. 18:26-11.1 (2014)
§ 18:26-11.1 Consent to transfer; generally
(a) Except as otherwise indicated in this chapter, no executor, administrator, trustee, individual, firm, association, partnership, organization or corporation including any banking institution, trust company or safe deposit company organized under the laws of New Jersey; National Bank operating in this State; Building and Loan or Savings and Loan Associations engaged in New Jersey; or credit unions chartered by the United States operating in this State, may release or transfer any real property or any tangible or intangible personal property which is subject to the Transfer Inheritance Tax and if the decedent died after December 31, 2001 which is subject to the estate tax, all or any part of which belongs to a resident decedent, whether held in the name of the decedent or otherwise, without first obtaining the written consent to such transfer or release from the Director.
(b) No waivers are required in estates of nonresident decedents, except for an inheritance tax waiver for real property located in the State of New Jersey.
1. There is, however, the necessity of definitely establishing to the satisfaction of the trustee, individual, firm, association, partnership, organization or corporation (its transfer agent) including any banking institution, trust company or safe deposit company organized under the laws of New Jersey; National Bank operating in this State; Building and Loan or Savings and Loan Associations engaged in New Jersey; or credit unions chartered by the United States operating in this State that the decedent was legally domiciled in a jurisdiction other than New Jersey. The proper procedure is for the personal representative of the estate to file with the proper party as aforesaid an affidavit establishing in some detail the facts as to domicile;
2. These should include place of residence and voting; social and business affiliations, where the last five income tax returns were filed prior to death; date of commencement and length of actual residence in place claimed as legal domicile; whether decedent formerly resided in New Jersey and, if so, what facts are relied upon to establish abandonment of New Jersey and intention not to return;
3. If from the proofs submitted to him the proper party as aforesaid is convinced that decedent was legally domiciled outside of New Jersey he may transfer the stock or obligation of the corporation or any other tangible or intangible personal property without the written consent of the Director, Division of Taxation, keeping the affidavit in his permanent files as authority for the action taken.
(c) No inheritance tax waivers are required to be issued by the Director in the case of certain transfers to the surviving spouse of a New Jersey domiciled decedent who died on or after January 1, 1985, or a surviving civil union partner of a New Jersey domiciled decedent who died on or after February 19, 2007, or to a registered domestic partner of a New Jersey domiciled decedent who died on or after July 10, 2004.

1. If two or more executors or administrators qualify, the affidavit may be executed by one of them.
2. The decedent's surviving spouse/civil union partner can execute an affidavit (Form L-8) in all cases where under the terms of the account or instrument and applicable State law the spouse/civil union partner has the right of survivorship or is the named beneficiary. Letters testamentary or of administration are not required to be attached as part of the affidavit when executed by the surviving spouse/civil union partner, except as provided in (c)3 below.
3. Where the surviving spouse/civil union partner has qualified as executor or administrator of the decedent's estate, intangible assets which pass to the spouse/civil union partner under a will or the law of intestate distribution can be released by the affidavit together with other assets described in (c)2 above, provided that the spouse's/civil union partner's letters testamentary or of administration are attached and made a part of the affidavit as provided in (c)1 above. Where the spouse/civil union partner has not qualified as an executor or administrator of the decedent's estate, only intangible assets may be released by the affidavit in accordance with (c)2 above.
4. A separate affidavit is required for each institution, organization or corporation releasing assets to a surviving spouse/civil union partner.
5. The affidavit of waiver by the surviving spouse/civil union partner cannot be used for real property and tangible personal property transfers from a decedent to a surviving spouse/civil union partner.
6. Estate tax waivers are required if the decedent died after December 31, 2001 except as provided in (e) below. Estate tax waivers are not required if a decedent died on or prior to December 31, 2001.
(d) No inheritance tax waivers are required to be issued by the Director in case of certain transfers to the following Class "A" transferees in the estate of New Jersey domiciled decedent who died on or after July 1, 1988: a father, mother, grandparent, grandchild, a child or children of a decedent, including any stepchild of a decedent or child or children adopted by a decedent or the issue of any child or legally adopted child of a decedent. In order to satisfy a corporation (its transfer agent) including any banking institution, trust company organized under the laws of New Jersey, national bank operating in this State, building and loan or savings and loan association in New Jersey, or credit union chartered by the United States operating in this State that intangible assets may be released to the Class "A" transferee, an affidavit of waiver can be executed by the Class "A" transferee or the personal representative of the decedent's estate.
2. The Class "A" transferee can execute an affidavit in all cases where under the terms of the account or instrument and applicable State law the Class "A" transferee has the right of survivorship or is the named beneficiary. Letters testamentary or of administration are not required to be attached as part of the affidavit when executed by the Class "A" transferee, except as provided in (d)3 below.
3. Where the Class "A" transferee has qualified as executor or administrator of the decedent's estate, intangible assets which pass to the Class "A" transferee under a will or law of intestate distribution can be released by the affidavit together with assets described in (d)2 above, provided that the Class "A" transferee's letters testamentary or of administration are attached and made a part of the affidavit as provided in (d)1 above. Where the Class "A" transferee has not qualified as an executor or administrator of the decedent's estate, only intangible assets may be released by the affidavit in accordance with (d)2 above.
4. A separate affidavit is required for each institution, organization or corporation releasing assets to a Class "A" transferee.
5. The affidavit of waiver by the Class "A" transferee cannot be used for real property and tangible personal property transfers from a decedent to a Class "A" transferee.
(e) An estate tax waiver is not required for decedents dying after December 31, 2001 if the decedent's taxable estate plus adjusted taxable gifts for Federal estate tax purposes under the provisions of the Internal Revenue Code in effect on December 31, 2001 does not exceed $ 675,000.
(f) In the absence of the express approval of the Director, waivers are not issued until the passage of ten business days following the receipt of payment.

18:26-10.13 Interest on refunds
N.J.A.C. 18:26-10.13 (2014)
§ 18:26-10.13 Interest on refunds
If the Inheritance Tax Branch takes more than six months to remit a valid refund after a refund application or written request is received by the Director, taxpayers have the right to receive interest on the refund. If interest must be paid, it will be calculated to accrue from the date of filing of a refund claim, the date of tax is paid in accordance with N.J.A.C. 18:26-8.6, or the due date of the return, whichever is later. Interest will be paid at a rate determined by the Director to be equal to the prime rate, determined for each month or fraction thereof, compounded annually at the end of each calendar year, from the date that such interest commences to accrue to the date of the refund. This rule becomes effective for returns due on and after January 1, 1994. No interest will be paid on an overpayment of less than one dollar ($ 1.00), or on an overpayment refunded within six months after the last date prescribed or permitted by extension of time for filing the return, or within six months after the return is filed, whichever is later. No interest will be paid on an overpayment unless the taxpayer files a claim for refund.

(b) In the case of a legacy charged upon or payable out of real property, the heir or devisee is to deduct the Inheritance Tax from the legacy and pay such tax over to the executor, administrator or trustee who may enforce the payment of such tax in the same manner as the payment of such legacy may be enforced.

(d) An executor, administrator or trustee may, if necessary, sell so much of the property of a decedent as is necessary to pay the New Jersey Inheritance Tax due on the transfer of such property.

The executor, administrator, or trustee has the affirmative obligation to show that it was reasonable to rely on the written advice.

18:26-9.4 Resident decedents' returns
(a) In the case of a resident decedent, all returns must be filed and tax computed on one of the following forms and accompanied by payment of tax, a copy of the decedent's will, if such decedent died testate, as well as a copy of the decedent's income tax return (form 1040 or 1040A) filed with the Internal Revenue Service for the last full year preceding his or her date of death:
1. Form IT-R (Resident): Must be used in all resident estates.
2. Form L-4: Preliminary affidavit to be used in making application for consents to transfer prior to completion of the original return. The Branch will retain in every case control over a sufficient portion of the assets to assure collection of the tax, even though a payment on account may have been made. The Branch will not issue consents to transfer all the personal property and depends upon real property as security for the tax. The only exception to the procedure is where a bank, trust company, or similar institution has been named executor and guarantees in writing, payment of tax.
3. Form L-8: Self-executing waiver for use in permitting a transfer of assets to a Class "A" beneficiary.
4. Form L-9: Application by the representative of the estate of a resident decedent for issuance of a waiver permitting a transfer of real estate to a Class "A" beneficiary.
5. Form L-10: Affidavit and self-executing waiver of County Welfare Director.

18:26-9.1 Date return due
(a) All inheritance tax returns must be filed, together with payment of the tax, within eight months following the death of the decedent. Failure of the personal representative, heir-at-law or next-of-kin, surviving joint tenant, trustee or transferee to file a return within the time prescribed subjects such party responsible for such filing to the penalties provided in N.J.S.A. 54:35-3.
(b) The Director may grant an extension in which the report may be filed. An estate representative may request an extension of time to file the New Jersey transfer inheritance tax return by filing Form IT-EXT (Application for Extension of Time to File a Return). An extension may be requested for a period of four months beyond the original due date. If it is not possible to file the return within the four month extension period, the estate representative may request an additional two month extension, or a total of six months. Extension beyond six months from the original due date of the return will be granted only in cases where the Director determines that exceptional circumstances exist.
1. This subsection provides the authority only for an extension of time to file the transfer inheritance tax return, and does not extend the time to pay the tax. The tax liability is due on the decedent's date of death and must be paid in full within eight months.

18:26-8.25 Certificates of deposit, savings certificates and special savings accounts
Certificates of deposit, savings certificates, special savings accounts and other accounts with banking institutions which provide for a penalty for premature withdrawal are to be reported at face value at the death of the decedent, plus interest which may have been credited up to the date of death, unless it is necessary to redeem any or all of the items so described in order to pay the debts of the estate, to carry out the provisions of the will, to effect distribution of the estate under the intestate law or for the payment of taxes. In those cases, the actual amount received on redemption is reportable for taxation.

18:26-8.24 Estates subject to power of appointment
When an instrument creates a power of appointment, the life estate or estate for years, to which such power is subject, is immediately appraised and taxed according to the provisions of N.J.A.C. 18:26-8.22; however, the appraisal and taxation of the remainder interest is suspended until the exercise of the power, at which time it is taxed at the clear market value as of date of death of the death of the creator of the power.

18:26-8.23 Vested remainders after estate for life, estate for a term of years, or annuity
When a vested remainder interest in any property subject to the New Jersey Inheritance Tax is bequeathed, devised, conveyed, granted, sold or given subject to one or more life estates, estates for a term of years, or annuities, such vested remainder is valued by first ascertaining the clear market value of the whole property and then deducting therefrom the value of each such life estate, estate for a term of years, or annuity as determined in accordance with the provisions of N.J.A.C. 18:26-8.22 (Estates for life, estates for a term of years and annuities).

18:26-8.22 Estates for life, estates for a term of years and annuities
Life estates, estates for a term of years and annuities are valued using an interest rate assumption of six percent and the mortality data for persons of the relevant gender set forth in the tables of mortality contained in the United States Decennial Life Tables (Life Table for Males: United States and Life Table for Females: United States) most recently published by the United States Department of Health and Human Services as of the date of the decedent's death. This valuation methodology applies even in cases in which a holder of a life estate, estate for a term of years, or annuity survives the decedent by only a short period.

(a) When an instrument creates an executory devise, or an estate in expectancy of any kind or character which is contingent or defeasible, the property which is the subject of such devise or in which such contingent or defeasible interest is created is appraised immediately at its clear market value. The value of the estate for life or term of years is then deducted from the appraised value of the property which is the subject of devise or limitation and the tax on such balance of the estate shall not be levied or assessed until the person or corporation entitled thereto comes into the beneficial enjoyment, seizing or possession thereof.
(b) Where the provisions of an inter vivos trust or decedent's last will and testament create a right in the beneficiary to request that a limited sum be paid to her or him annually and no right exists in the beneficiary to terminate the trust, the interest of said beneficiary will be construed as contingent in character for inheritance tax purpose.
(c) Where a number of years have elapsed between the date of death and the date of initial assessment, the Branch will inquire as to the amounts and dates of any payments to, or withdrawals by the beneficiary. If such payments or withdrawals have been made a contingent assessment, based upon the amount of corpus paid less any vested life estate value or discounted value will be completed.
(d) To secure contingent taxes, the bond of New Jersey Bank as principal or as one of the principals and as surety will be accepted, provided such bond meets the requirements of form and content of the approved form of Bond, 0-54. In the case of a foreign fiduciary, however, a bond issued by a surety company licensed to operate in New Jersey as surety must be filed.
