I am the executor of my aunts estate. Can I file the Homestead Rebate Application on her behalf and have the rebate check issued to her estate?
Provided the deceased individual was alive on October 1, 2008, owned and occupied the home in New Jersey that was their principal residence on that date, the 2008 property taxes were paid, and the individual would otherwise be eligible for the rebate, the estate may file the homeowner rebate application. If the individuals personal representative files the rebate application online or by phone, any rebate check will be issued in the deceased homeowners name. For the check to be issued to the estate, the homeowners personal representative must file a paper application and enclose a copy of the homeowners death certificate. If the homeowner died before October 1, 2008, the individuals estate is not eligible for the 2008 homestead rebate because the property must have been owned and occupied as the deceaseds principal residence at 12:01 a.m. on October 1.
