N.J.S.A. 3B:22-21 — Payment of claims allowed in this State out of local assets; delivery of surplus assets to domiciliary personal representative

3B:22-21. Payment of claims allowed in this State out of local assets; delivery of surplus assets to domiciliary personal representative In case the claims and prior charges of the entire estate exceed the total value of the portions of the estate being administered separately and this State is not the state of the decedent's last domicile, the claims allowed in this State shall be paid their proportion if local assets are adequate for the purpose, and the balance of local assets shall be transferred to the domiciliary personal representative. If local assets are not sufficient to pay all claims allowed in this State the amount to which they are entitled, local assets shall be marshaled so that each claim allowed in this State is paid its proportion as far as possible, after taking into account all dividends on claims allowed in this State from assets in other jurisdictions. L.1981, c. 405, s. 3B:22-21, eff. May 1, 1982.
