New Jersey § 3b:30-11

§ 3b:30-11.

a. A registering entity offering to accept registration in beneficiary form may establish

the terms and conditions under which it will receive requests for registrations in

beneficiary form, and for implementation of registrations in beneficiary form, including

requests for reregistration to effect a change of beneficiary. The terms and conditions so established may provide for proving death, avoiding

or resolving any problems concerning fractional shares, designating primary and contingent

beneficiaries, and substituting a named beneficiary's descendants to take in the place

of the named beneficiary in the event of the beneficiary's death. Substitution may be indicated by appending to the name of the primary beneficiary

the letters LDPS, standing for “lineal descendants per stirpes.” This designation substitutes a deceased beneficiary's descendants who survive the

owner for a beneficiary who fails to so survive, the descendants to be identified

and to share in accordance with the law of the beneficiary's domicile at the owner's

death governing inheritance by decedents of an intestate. Other forms of identifying beneficiaries who are to take on one or more contingencies,

and rules for providing proofs and assurances needed to satisfy reasonable concerns

by registering entities regarding conditions and identities relevant to accurate implementation

of registrations in beneficiary form, may be contained in a registering entity's terms

and conditions. b. The following are illustrations of registrations in beneficiary form which a registering

entity may authorize: (1) sole owner-sole beneficiary: John S. Brown TOD (or POD) John S. Brown Jr.; (2) multiple owners-sole beneficiary: John S. Brown, Mary B. Brown JT TEN TOD John

S. Brown Jr.; (3) multiple owner-primary and secondary (substituted) beneficiaries: John S. Brown,

Mary B. Brown JT TEN TOD John S. Brown Jr. LDPS.
