New Jersey Statutes Appendix - Former Title 3A Administration of Estates Decedents and Others 3A § 25-9

When a fiduciary states his final account and there remains in his hands a balance, legacy, residuary share, dividend or sum of money to be paid to a person and the person, or his guardian, if he be an infant or under disability, fails to claim the same within 3 months from the time the account is passed, the fiduciary may proceed to pay the same into the court wherein the account was rendered, taking therefor the receipt of the clerk or surrogate.

Such receipt shall be a full and sufficient discharge and release to the fiduciary for moneys so by him paid into court and against the claimant thereto entitled.
