In New Jersey, an individual attorney is not required to carry errors and omissions insurance for any purpose; however legal entities (corporations, etc.) MUST carry general malpractice insurance. There is no separate rule for errors and omissions dealing with wills or any other area of practice.

Most lawyers do carry malpractice Insurance. However, it is not a legal requirement.

It does not mean that lawyer is not responsible for an error or omission. It is just that the lawyer would not have insurance to pay the claim.
