IMPORTANT INFORMATION REGARDING BONDS
1. The Surrogate is the Judge of the Surrogate's Court. In that capacity, the Surrogate has the authority to
appoint an administrator of an estate. If you are appointed administrator, you are the fiduciary for the estate
and may be required to post a surety bond, pursuant to New Jersey statutes, particularly NJSA 3B: 15-1. The
purpose of the bond, which is based on the amount of the assets, is to protect the heirs and creditors of the
estate.
2. A bond is not insurance. You are responsible for any losses which cause the surety to make payment on
your behalf. The Indemnity Agreement is your promise to repay the surety. The law establishes minimum
terms and conditions for indemnity and collection, which must be in each bond. The other terms, such as
premium and duration are between you and the bonding company.
3. You are free to purchase the bond from any qualified source.
4. The initial premium is due when the bond application is completed and your appointment as administrator
will not be granted until the bond is received in the Surrogate's Court.
5. The bond does not terminate at the end of the first year. Annual premiums are due to the bonding
agent each year until the estate is closed (the accounting, Refunding Bond and Release forms, and any
tax waiver(s) from the state of New Jersey are all filed in Surrogate's Court). If you do not notify
them and provide proof that the estate is closed, you will continue to be billed each year for another
premium.
6. The annual bills will come directly from the bonding agent.
7. If the value of the estate is reduced, you can have the bond reduced. Since the premium is determined by
the amount of the bond, reducing the bond will result in a savings in most cases.

New Jersey Permanent Statutes
Title 2A Administration of Civil and Criminal Justice
2A:17-56.23b JUDGMENT FOR CHILD SUPPORT LIEN AGAINST NET PROCEEDS OF SETTLEMENT: PRIORITY
1. a. A judgment for child support entered pursuant to P.L.1988, c.111 (C.2A:17-56.23a) and docketed with
the Clerk of the Superior Court shall be a lien against the net proceeds of any settlement negotiated prior or
subsequent to the filing of a lawsuit, civil judgment, civil arbitration award, inheritance or workers' compensation
award. The lien shall have priority over all other levies and garnishments against the net proceeds of any
settlement negotiated prior or subsequent to the filing of a lawsuit, civil judgment, civil arbitration award, inheritance
or workers' compensation award unless otherwise provided by the Superior Court, Chancery Division, Family Part.
The lien shall not have priority over levies to recover unpaid income taxes owed to the State. The lien shall stay
the distribution of the net proceeds to the prevailing party or beneficiary until the child support judgment is satisfied.
As used in this act "net proceeds" means any amount of money, in excess of $2,000, payable to the prevailing
party or beneficiary after attorney fees, witness fees, court costs, fees for health care providers, payments to the
Medicaid program under section 6 of P.L.1979, c.365 (C.30:4D-7.1), reimbursement to the Division of Employment
Security in the Department of Labor, the employer or employer's insurance carrier for temporary disability benefits
that may have been paid pending the outcome of a workers' compensation claim as provided by section 1 of
P.L.1950, c.174 (C.34:15-57.1), reimbursement to an employer or the employer's workers' compensation insuranc
e
carrier as provided in R.S.34:15-40, and other costs related to the lawsuit, inheritance or settlement are deducted
from the award, proceeds or estate; "prevailing party" or "beneficiary" shall not include a partnership, corporation,
limited liability partnership, financial institution, government entity or minor child; and "agent" means an authorized
representative of the prevailing party or beneficiary, a union representative, an executor or administrator of a
decedent's estate, an arbitrator or any other person or entity if such person or entity is responsible for t
he
distribution of net proceeds to a prevailing party or beneficiary.
b. Before distributing any net proceeds of a settlement, judgment, inheritance or award to the prevailing
party or beneficiary:
(1
) the prevailing party or beneficiary shall provide the attorney, insurance company or agent responsible
for the final distribution of such funds with a certification that includes the prevailing party's or beneficiary's full
name, mailing address, date of birth and Social Security number; and
(2) the attorney representing the prevailing party or beneficiary shall initiate a search of child suppor
t
judgments, through a private judgment search company that maintains information on child support judgments, to
determine if the prevailing party or beneficiary is a child support judgment debtor.
If the prevailing party or beneficiary is not represented by an attorney, the judgment search shall be initiated by the
opposing attorney, insurance company or agent before the proceeds are distributed to the prevailing party or
beneficiary. In the case of a workers' compensation action, the Administrative Office of the Courts shall, at least
once every 60 days, transmit information on child support judgment debtors to the Division of Workers'
Compensation in the Department of Labor. The information shall include the debtor's name, Social Security
number, the amount of the child support judgment, the Probation Division case number and the Probation Division
office to which the judgment is payable. The Division of Workers' Compensation shall match the data received on
child support judgment debtors against the information it maintains for individuals who have filed workers'
compensation claims with the division. When a match is identified, the Division of Workers' Compensation shall
notify the appropriate judge of compensation of the child support judgment before the decision, award,
determination, judgment or order approving the settlement is rendered. The judge of compensation shall
incorporate in the decision, award, determination, judgment or order approving the settlement, an order requiring
the employer or the employer's insurance carrier to contact the Probation Division to satisfy the child support
judgment out of the net proceeds of the workers' compensation award, order or settlement before any such monies
are paid to the employee. The Division of Workers' Compensation shall be immune from any civil liability that may
arise from any information provided by the division or any order issued by a judge of compensation relating to a
child support judgment, in accordance with this section. In the case of judgments or settlements resulting from a
labor arbitration involving employees of a school board or school district, a judgment search shall be initiated by the
school board or district prior to the release of any net proceeds to the employees and only if there is an income
withholding for child support active against the employee in the records of the school board or district. In the case
of an inheritance, the executor or administrator of the decedent's estate shall initiate the judgment search. The
judgment search company shall provide a certification to the attorney, insurance company, agent or party initiating
the lawsuit identifying whether or not the prevailing party or beneficiary is a child support judgment debtor.
In the case of net proceeds that are to be paid through a structured settlement or other payment plan, the attorney,
insurance company or agent shall be required to conduct the child support judgment search only at the time of
settlement or prior to the distribution of the first payment under the plan. If a child support judgment is identified,
the attorney, insurance company or agent shall provide the Probation Division with a copy of the structured
settlement or payment plan within 30 days of identifying the child support judgment.
If there are no attorneys representing either party in a civil lawsuit, the party bringing the lawsuit shall initiate the
judgment search and shall be required to file the certification with the court at least 10 working days prior to the trial
or with the stipulation that the certification shall be filed at the time of the settlement or dismissal of the lawsuit.
For monies deposited with the court, no distribution of funds shall be made until the attorney, prevailing party or
beneficiary provides the Clerk of the Superior Court with a copy of the certification showing that the prevailing party
or beneficiary is not a child support judgment debtor.
The fee for a judgment search which is required by this section shall not exceed $10 for each name of a child
support judgment debtor that is searched. The fee for a judgment search is chargeable against the net proceeds as
a cost of the settlement, judgment, inheritance or award.
c. If the certification shows that the prevailing party or beneficiary is not a child support judgment debtor,
the net proceeds may be paid to the prevailing party or beneficiary immediately. If the certification shows that the
prevailing party or beneficiary is a child support judgment debtor, the attorney, insurance company or agent that
initiated the search shall contact the Probation Division of the Superior Court to arrange for the satisfaction of the
child support judgment. The attorney, insurance company or agent shall notify the prevailing party or beneficiary of
the intent to satisfy the child support judgment prior to the disbursement of any funds to the prevailing party or
beneficiary. Upon receipt of a warrant of satisfaction for the child support judgment, the attorney, insurance
company or agent shall pay the balance of the settlement, judgment, award or inheritance to the prevailing party or
beneficiary. If the net proceeds are less than the amount of the child support judgment, the entire amount of the
net proceeds shall be paid to the Probation Division as partial satisfaction of the judgment.
If there are no attorneys representing either party in a civil lawsuit and the certification filed with the court shows
that the prevailing party or beneficiary is a child support judgment debtor, the court shall order that the opposing
party pay the amount of the child support judgment to the Probation Division before any funds are paid to the
prevailing party or beneficiary. The court shall also insure that any judgment related to the lawsuit docketed with
the Clerk of the Superior Court reflect the Probation Division's superior claim to such funds.
d. An attorney, insurance company or agent shall not be liable for distributing net proceeds to the
prevailing party or beneficiary based on the results of a judgment certification showing the prevailing party or
beneficiary is not the debtor of a child support judgment, if it is later shown that the prevailing party or beneficiary
provided inaccurate personal information on the initial certification to the attorney, the insurer or agent.
e. An attorney, insurance company or agent who, in accordance with this act, satisfies a child support
judgment from the net proceeds of a settlement, judgment, inheritance or award, shall not be liable for payments
which otherwise would have been made pursuant to subsection a. of this section which were not so identified to the
attorney, insurance company or agent at the time of satisfaction.
f. An attorney, insurance company or agent who, in accordance with this act, satisfies a child support
judgment from the net proceeds of a settlement, judgment, inheritance or award, shall not be liable to the prevailing
party or beneficiary or to that party's creditors.
g. An attorney shall not be required to challenge a child support judgment unless retained by the prevailing
party or beneficiary to do so.
h. A private judgment search company is prohibited from using any information provided by an attorney,
insurance company or agent in accordance with this act for any purpose other than: (1) determining if the prevailing
party or beneficiary is the debtor of a child support judgment; and (2) preparing a certification as required pursuant
to subsection b. of this section.
i. To the extent feasible and permitted by the Rules of Court, the Administrative Office of the Courts may
share information on a child support judgment debtor with an insurance carrier for the sole purpose of complying
with the provisions of P.L.2000, c.81 (C.2A:17-56.23b et al.).
