Legal Question in Wills and Trusts in New Jersey
My brother left me as sole beneficiary in his will. I am trying to obtain his assets from Charles Schwab and they say I need a NJ Tax Waiver. Since I am a class "C" benefiary, which form would I use? There is less than $50,000 in his account.

Class "C" beneficiaries are subject to NJ Inheritance Tax if their inheritance exceeds $25,000, as yours does. Thus, you need to file a return and pay the tax, to get the Waiver they want. If you need assistance, contact me directly.
