Friendlies and the Surrogate’s Intermingled Trust Fund

Friendlies and the Surrogate’s Intermingled Trust Fund
Rule 4:44 requires court approval of a settlement on behalf of a minor or mentally incapacitated person (previously referred to as an “incompetent”). The majority of settlements paid on behalf of minors and incapacitated individuals are paid into the
Surrogate’s Intermingled Trust Fund (SITF). Whenever the proceeds of such a settlement are to be paid into the SITF, a uniform order for judgment form must be used.
A copy of the form appears in the appendix. Before scheduling a friendly hearing seeking approval of a settlement on behalf of a minor or mentally incapacitated individual, counsel should contact the county surrogate and ensure that the surrogate has reviewed and approved the proposed completed order for judgment form.

Criminal and Motor vehicle violations can cost you. You will have to pay fines in court or receive points on your drivers license.

Don't give up! The Law Office of Kenneth Vercammen can provide experienced attorney representation for criminal motor vehicle violations.

When your job or driver's license is in jeopardy or you are facing thousands of dollars in fines, DMV surcharges and car insurance increases, you need excellent legal representation. The least expensive attorney is not always the answer. Schedule an appointment if you need experienced legal representation in a traffic/municipal court matter.

Our website www.njlaws.com provides information on traffic offenses we can be retained to represent people.
