My question involves estate proceedings in the state of: New Jersey
I'm at the end of the process of becoming the estate's administrator. The last remaining piece of the paperwork I need to deliver is the signed Administrator Bond. I got the bond from the probate court already but the bond guys won't sign it unless I bring a letter from a NJ practicing lawyer promising help in closing the estate. I don't need any - this is 5 years into the process and I know exactly what I'm doing (this is a pretty complicated case involving people and the estate located in different countries; so far lawyers proved useless - none speak other languages than English and are completely helpless dealing with unfamiliar territories).
Bonding guys sent me an example of a letter and suggested enlisting the help of a friend or a relative. Can't think of any. Is there a way of avoiding this? What if I guaranteed the estate with my own money? I probably have enough between my savings and IRA accounts to cover the amount.
