Does New Jersey offer liability protections for someone willing to acquire contaminated property?
Yes. There are a variety of liability protections offered by New Jersey law and the NJDEP initiative of Prospective Purchaser Agreements, however, in New Jersey, the Courts, not NJDEP, decide liability issues. NJDEP can assist your understanding of the protections available and what you have to do to qualify, but the Department cannot tell you whether or not you are able to escape a legal finding of liability.
