INTRODUCTION
NEW JERSEY TRANSFER INHERITANCE TAX - ESTATE TAX
GENERAL
New Jersey has had a Transfer Inheritance Tax since 1892 when a 5% tax was imposed on property transferred from a decedent
to a beneficiary. Currently, the law imposes a graduated Transfer Inheritance Tax ranging from 11% to 16% on the transfer of real and
personal property with a value of $500.00 or more to certain beneficiaries. There is no New Jersey Estate Tax for the estates of non-
resident decedents.
