Full text of New Jersey New Jersey Statutes § 14:18-5, with citation guidance and answers to common questions.
§ 14:18-5.
(a) A person asserting a claim of beneficial interest adverse to the transfer of a
security pursuant to an assignment by a fiduciary may give the corporation or transfer
agent written notice of the claim. The corporation or transfer agent is not put on notice unless the written notice
identifies the claimant, the registered owner and the issue of which the security
is a part, provides an address for communications directed to the claimant and is
received before the transfer. Nothing in this act relieves the corporation or transfer agent of any liability
for making or refusing to make the transfer after it is so put on notice, unless it
proceeds in the manner authorized in subsection (b). (b) As soon as practicable after the presentation of security for transfer pursuant
to an assignment by a fiduciary, a corporation or transfer agent which has received
notice of a claim of beneficial interest adverse to the transfer may send notice of
the presentation by registered or certified mail to the claimant at the address given
by him. If the corporation or transfer agent so mails such a notice it shall withhold the
transfer for 30 days after the mailing and shall then make the transfer unless restrained
by a court order.
