The firs step in purchasing a home in New Jersey is to zero in on an agent or Realtor. The agent under the laws of New Jersey owes fiduciary duties to the seller. However, the Realtor can represent sellers, buyers or both. A Realtor with a substantial database of houses for sale will give the purchaser better home-buying options.

The next step is to zero in on the ideal property with the help of the agent. When the purchaser chooses the suitable property, a contract of sale is prepared. The contract of sale consists of the price and other terms on which the purchaser is willing to purchase the property. The laws of the State of new Jersey require that the contract of sale is to be in writing and accompanied by a check amounting to 1% of the offered price. The contract has to detail the various inspections to be carried out such as structural stability, pest control, radiation, attorney approval of the contract and mortgage commitment.

Once this initial contract is drawn up, the purchaser can apply for a loan on a mortgage. Several banks, financial services and mortgage companies offer loans on varying terms in proportion to the purchaser's payment capability. The contract of sale for the purchase of a home in New Jersey should contain the terms and the rate of interest that the purchaser is planning to pay. Once the application is made to the mortgagor, a mortgage commitment should be obtained within 30 to 45 days of the contract of sale. After the commitment is obtained the purchaser is required to deposit 10% of the price offered as earnest money which the seller will deposit in a bank account as escrow.

The most important part of any real estate purchase is a title search. The purchaser's attorney, title search companies or a trust and title company are entrusted with the task of searching public records, bankruptcy court records and family court records for possible encumbrances on the title. Most title search companies are members of the New Jersey Land Title Association. After the title search has been completed it is wise to take out a title insurance to prevent possible legal actions based on discrepancies in title. If the contract is drawn up by a real estate agent, it is mandatory that a three day review period is granted to the purchaser. The State of new Jersey recognizes an implied easement which is given to anyone who has no other reasonable or practical way of egress and ingress except through the property of another.

The purchaser also requires a homeowners insurance for the amount of the mortgage which is required at the closure of the purchase. Before the closing of the contract the attorney will apportion the rates and levies to be paid by the purchaser and the seller. The purchaser should make arrangements to establish new accounts for taxes and other payments in the purchaser's name. On the completion of these procedures, the purchaser will be required to execute the contract by showing the home owners insurance and obtain immediate possession.

State Of New Jersey

The state of New Jersey has the highest population density among the 50 states- an average of 1,030 people per square mile with 90% of the people living in an urban area. This might explain the fact that property taxes in the Garden State is the highest in the country- twice the national average. Based on a recent report by WCBS newsradio however, 200,000 homeowners in Jersey State don't seem to know or care about that seeing as they failed to apply for $200 million worth of tax rebates.

Tax rebates are just one of the numerous examples of sources of New Jersey unclaimed money and property. Abandoned bank accounts, stocks, cash and mineral deposits, unclaimed insurance and retirement benefits, uncashed checks and even safe deposit bank contents all fall under New Jersey's Unclaimed Property Law. All sorts of items have been found in the latter- autographs of historical figures like General George S. Patton and Mae West, an $80,000 Tiffany bracelet, a prosthetic leg and old animal bones have been collected from deposit box contents abandoned by residents of N.J.

People tend to lose track of their finances when they change addresses or jobs, get married, or pass-away. Mailed checks or notices can get returned to their senders when forwarding addresses aren't left behind by the would be recipients. Under escheat laws, these abandoned financial assets are turned-over to the state after a certain period which varies from account type to account type, and state to state. The web site of the New Jersey State's Division of Taxation says the following about unclaimed money and property:

“Except as otherwise provided by this chapter, all property, including any income or increment derived therefrom, less any lawful charges, whether located in this State or another state, that is held, issued, owing in the ordinary course of a holder's business and has remained unclaimed by the owner for more than three years after it became payable or distributable is presumed abandoned.

At the time that an interest is presumed abandoned under this section, any other property right accrued or accruing to the owner as a result of the interest, and not previously presumed abandoned, is also presumed abandoned.”

Some 42,000 residents of the Garden State recently claimed $88.4 million in a single year, but there are still hundreds of millions of dollars to be claimed belonging to over 1,200,000 people. Each of the 1.2 million people are owed at least $50, but many are owed much much more. Atlantic City, N.J. is home to the annual Miss America pageant, but state residents should also look into something as, (if not more) beautiful- New Jersey unclaimed money.

“Liberty And Prosperity” is the state motto and everyone is indeed free to go check and do a search for unclaimed property and make themselves a bit more prosperous by getting back their lost money. It can be as simple as going on-line and doing an unclaimed money search using one's name . The tricky part though is doing a thorough search, as it's possible to overlook pre-escheat funds and unclaimed money in different states.
