N.J. Stat. Ann. § 3B:12-19

Guardian for property of nonresident minor

Known as the New Jersey Standby Guardianship Act

The act spans §§ 3B:12-1 to 3B:12-9 (76 sections).

L.1981, c. 405, s. 3B:12-19, eff

Where a nonresident minor has property within this State, the Superior Court may appoint a guardian of the minor to administer his property. The surrogate's court shall have concurrent authority to appoint a guardian for the property within the county.

The Superior Court has, with respect to the property, the same authority and control over him which it would have over a guardian of the estate of a resident minor. In any case not provided for by statute, it shall take any action in the matter as it shall deem most for the advantage of the minor.
