New Jersey § 3b:31-81

§ 3b:31-81.

Certification of Trust. a. Instead of furnishing a copy of the trust instrument to a person other than a beneficiary,

the trustee may furnish to the person a certification of trust containing the following

information: (1) that the trust exists and the date the trust instrument was executed; (2) the identity of the settlor; (3) the identity and address of the currently acting trustee; (4) the powers of the trustee; (5) the revocability or irrevocability of the trust and the identity of any person

holding a power to revoke the trust; (6) the authority of co-trustees to sign and whether all or less than all are required

in order to exercise powers of the trustee; and (7) the name in which title to trust property may be taken. b. A certification of trust shall be signed by all persons identified as currently

acting as trustee. c. A certification of trust shall state that the trust has not been revoked, modified,

or amended in any manner that would cause the representations contained in the certification

of trust to be incorrect. d. A certification of trust need not contain the dispositive terms of a trust. e. A recipient of a certification of trust may require the trustee to furnish copies

of those excerpts from the original trust instrument and later amendments which designate

the trustee and confer upon the trustee the power to act in the pending transaction. f. A person who acts in reliance upon a certification of trust without knowledge that

the representations contained therein are incorrect is not liable to any person for

so acting and may assume without inquiry the existence of the facts contained in the

certification. Knowledge of the terms of the trust may not be inferred solely from the fact that

a copy of all or part of the trust instrument is held by the person relying upon the

certification. g. A person making a demand for the trust instrument in addition to a certification

of trust or excerpts is liable for damages if the court determines that the person

did not act in good faith in demanding the trust instrument. h. This section does not limit the right of a person to obtain a copy of the trust

instrument in a judicial proceeding concerning the trust.
