New Jersey Household Paperwork Bundle: 4 Kits in One Download (NJ Executor Kit, New Jersey Small Claims Kit, Power of Attorney Signing Kit, Will Signing Day Kit)

Who it is for

Families in New Jersey getting papers in order: signing a power of attorney or will, settling an estate, or taking a money dispute to small claims.

Not the right fit if

You only need one of these papers (buy that kit on its own), or nothing is in New Jersey. Not a form preparation or legal service.

Why it is different

• 4 kits for 30% less than buying them one by one; each keeps its own folder in the download.
• The New Jersey kits are built only from our New Jersey data files: New Jersey small claims data file, checked November 2026 against New Jersey Courts: Small Claims FAQ (CN 11482, rev. 07/01/2022); New Jersey Courts: How do I file a case in Small Claims Court? (by upload to JEDS, by mail or in person); New Jersey Courts: Special Civil Part FAQ (CN 11481, rev. 07/01/2022).
• New Jersey Executor Kit and Power of Attorney Signing Kit and Will Signing Day Kit cover every state; the New Jersey kits carry the state rules.

• New Jersey Small Claims Court Kit. In New Jersey, small claims (Small Claims Section, Special Civil Part) cover claims up to $5,000. From the official page: Not more than $5,000, including claims for a landlord's failure to return a security deposit. Where and how to file, from the official pages: The Special Civil Part office in the county where at least one defendant lives; if no defendant is in New Jersey, the county where the claim arose.
