Rule 4:95-2 Summary Action by Fiduciary for Instructions

A person who manages someone else's money or property, such as an executor, administrator, guardian, or trustee, can ask the court for guidance when they are unsure what to do. This applies when they need help understanding how to use their legal powers or how to hand out money and assets from an estate.

This type of court request follows a simplified process under Rule 4:83, which means it moves faster than a regular lawsuit. It gives fiduciaries a straightforward way to get answers before making decisions that could affect the people they are responsible for.
