the administration of the estate of the decedent or deceased donee of the power of appointment . A copy of the disclaimer shall also be delivered to any personal representative, or other fiduciary of the decedent or to the donee of the power or to the holder of the legal title to which the interest relates. The fiduciary shall promptly notify the person or persons who take the disclaimed

interest, although any such failure to provide the notice required herein shall not

or other person having legal title to or possession of the property or interest disclaimed

or who is entitled thereto in the event of disclaimer. Any fiduciary, payor or other person having title to or possession of the property

or interest who receives such disclaimer shall promptly notify the person or persons

who take the disclaimed interest, although any such failure to provide the notice

required herein shall not affect the validity of the disclaimer. c. In the case of a disclaimer by a fiduciary of a power or discretion: (1) If such disclaimer is made after court authorization, the fiduciary shall deliver

a copy to such person or persons and in such manner as shall be directed by the court;

or (2) If such disclaimer is made without court authorization pursuant to N.J.S.3B:9-4(a) , the fiduciary shall deliver a copy to all co-fiduciaries, but if there are none,

then to all persons whose property interests are affected by the disclaimer. d. In the case of a will or testamentary trust or power of appointment under a will

or testamentary trust, if real property or any interest therein is disclaimed, the

surrogate or clerk of the Superior Court, as the case may be, shall forthwith forward

a copy of the disclaimer for filing in the office of the clerk or register of deeds

and mortgages of the county in which the real property is situated. In the case of a nontestamentary instrument or contract, if real property or any

interest therein is disclaimed, the original thereof shall be filed in the office

is situated. e. For the purposes of this section, delivery may be effected: (1) in person; (2)
