§ 3a:39-1.

If an absent person has property in this State, which property may be wasted or dissipated

unless proper management is provided, or where funds are needed for the support, care

and welfare of such person or those entitled to be supported by him, and protection

is necessary or desirable to obtain or provide funds, the Superior Court may in a

summary action appoint one or more trustees to take charge of and manage the property. The trustee shall be under the direction and control of the court appointing him

and shall have full power over the property and may commence and maintain such proceedings

for the conservation, protection or disposal of the property, or any part thereof,

as the court may deem proper.
