New Jersey Statutes Appendix - Former Title 3A Administration of Estates Decedents and Others 3A § 25-42

A disclaimer on behalf of a decedent, minor, or incapacitated person may be made by the personal representative of the decedent or the guardian of the estate of the minor or incapacitated person. Such disclaimer shall not be effective unless, prior thereto, the personal representative or guardian has been authorized to disclaim by the court having jurisdiction of the estate of the decedent, minor, or incapacitated person, after finding that it is advisable and will not materially prejudice the rights of creditors, devisees, heirs, or beneficiaries of the decedent, the minor, or incapacitated person or his creditors, as the case may be.
