New Jersey § 3a:6-32

§ 3a:6-32.

A consent, where required by section 3A:6-31 of this title, shall be in writing, and it and the affidavit shall be filed and recorded

in the office of the surrogate or if the proceeding is before the superior court,

then in the office of the clerk of the superior court, and thereupon the affiant shall

have all the rights, powers and duties of a guardian duly appointed for the estate

of the minor and as such, may be sued and required to account as if he had been appointed

guardian by the surrogate's court or superior court, as the case may be. Any bank, building and loan association or other corporation or any person, association

or society which pays or delivers any assets of the minor to such parent or person

standing in loco parentis, as the case may be, upon presentation of a copy of the

affidavit, marked a true copy by the surrogate, or clerk of the superior court, shall

be forever discharged from all claims by any guardian who may thereafter be appointed

or by any other person, as to the assets so paid or delivered; and this, notwithstanding

that the value of the assets does in fact exceed the amounts stated or that the statements

in the affidavit are erroneous or that a consent required has not been obtained.
