New Jersey § 3a:16-8

§ 3a:16-8.

When real estate is devised by a will to the executors therein named, or any of them,

to be sold, or is thereby ordered to be sold by the executors therein named, or any

of them, and 1 or more of such executors shall fail to qualify, or having entered

upon the duties of office, shall have died, resigned, or removed out of the state

and refused to act, or shall have been discharged or removed from office by a court

of competent jurisdiction, the trusts in the will shall vest in the other executor

or executors named in the will who have proved the will, and in the survivor or survivors

of them, unless it is otherwise expressed in the will. Such acting or surviving executor or executors may sell and convey the real estate

of the testator, in the same manner, to all intents and purposes, as if all had been

living or had acted and joined in the sale.
