You're in the right place.
Welcome — you're reading The New Jersey Executor's Handbook. The working tools that go with the book are below, free.
The book walks you through New Jersey's process. These are the two things you'll actually use week to week.
The NJ deadline calculator
Enter the date of death and every New Jersey deadline is calculated for you — the 10-day caveat period before you can qualify, the 8-month Inheritance Tax return (IT-R), the 9-month creditor claim deadline, and the decedent's final 1040. You can send them all to your phone's calendar.
The First 30 Days checklist
A printable one-pager for the part that feels most overwhelming: what to do, in order, before you're even sure what you're doing.
Send me the free companion tools
Both free. Sign up and the checklist downloads right here; the calculator is linked just below. I'll also send the occasional note when New Jersey's rules actually change — which matters, because the deadlines in your estate don't care that the law moved.
No spam, unsubscribe anytime. ExecutorPilot is an educational resource, not a law firm.
Reading the book? Open the free deadline calculator and you can download your New Jersey deadlines as a calendar file — Apple Calendar, Google Calendar or Outlook — with reminders set at 90, 60, 30, 14, 7 and 1 day before each one. Nothing is stored by us; the file is built in your own browser.
Haven't read the book yet?
The New Jersey Executor's Handbook is the whole process in plain English — the two deadlines that control everything — the 8-month New Jersey Inheritance Tax return (IT-R) and the 9-month creditor claim deadline, in that order, which is the pair most executors get backwards — who is exempt and who is not, the L-8 waiver that unfreezes a frozen bank account without going through Trenton, and a red-flag list telling you exactly when to stop and call an attorney.
You can also read the free New Jersey guides here: New Jersey inheritance tax — who pays the 10%.
Want the full working system?
The NJ Executor Compliance Kit is the book's toolkit taken further: the deadline calculator, fourteen editable letter templates, the expense and creditor trackers, and an estate accounting workbook that builds your final accounting, checks it against your bank statement, and prints a summary for the beneficiaries — plus free updates as New Jersey's rules change. One time, no subscription.
