What is New Jerseys definition of majority rule concerning a will with 3 executrixs if 1 executrix is holding up the procedings.

The Power of Attorney is no longer valid and really doesn't bear any weight.  I have had this issue before.  I am of the opinion that there is no "majority rule" when it comes to the Executors because all of them need to sign off on things.  For example, if you were selling property, and one executor did not agree and would not sign the deed, then I do not believe that clear title would be passed.  If there is a disagreement among the three, then proper thing to do is to go to court and either seek to have the one executor removed, or if they just refuse to sign, get a court order indicating that the two remaining executors are authorized to sign on behalf of all three.

What makes up the net value of an estate. Is it only the monies that enter in and out of the estate account

Diana L. Anderson
Answered by attorney Diana L. Anderson
Estate Planning lawyer at Diana L. Anderson
For estate tax purposes, this amount would be included in the estate value.  the exemption in New Jersey is any amount  under the total of $675,000.  If the estate is over that amount, estate taxes are due.
