NJ MVC looks to Renew by Mail to decrease office traffic

The New Jersey Motor Vehicle Commission is making an effort to reduce traffic in their offices. Drivers who were born on or before Dec. 1, 1964 are now able to renew their licenses by mail.

NJMVC Chairman and Chief Administrator Raymond Martinez said drivers will receive notice of their eligibility to “Skip the Trip” in November, December, and January. The program begins with licenses that expire in November.

“The more people to take advantage of it, it’s better for them, but it’s also better for everybody in our offices that do have to go because then it’s less people,” Martinez said to CBS New York.

He said that around 50,000 people should be eligible in November.

The Motor Vehicle Commission website says drivers will be mailed renewal forms and instructions, and will receive a new, four-year license within 7-to-10 business days.

Nj1015.com notes that drivers holding a Commercial Driver License, Graduated Driver License, Temporary Visa Restriction, interlock device, boat license or suspension are ineligible, and are required to visit their nearby agency.

The Commission advises drivers to renew before the last day of their renewal month to avoid license expiration. Their web site notes that the agency in Medford is not able to process transactions as of 9 a.m. September 6.

Children can be conned out of inheritance after multiple marriages

BY CAROL ABAYA NEWJERSEYNEWSROOM.COM THE SANDWICH GENERATION Multiple marriages and blended families can mean children get cheated out of money and assets their parent(s) earned and had before the second or third marriage. At the 2012 senior citizens’ law day conference, Lawrence A. Friedman, Bridgewater elder law attorney, said elders need to protect their children of prior marriages from being disinherited. "Even if your spouse’s current will provides for your children, your spouse may change it after you pass away,” he said. In addition to protecting one's child, an appropriate will can minimize N.J. estate taxes, which kick in if assets are over $675,000. At the conference, Cathyanne Pisciotta from North Brunswick discussed guardianship which could be necessary if various legal documents are not signed. Pisciotta said that if a person does not have a durable power of attorney (for financial affairs) and a living will (for medical decisions), anyone else can seek guardianship of that person. An expensive court proceeding is mandatory. And she said, “If one person seeks guardianship, someone else can challenge the appointment. Another relative may seek to be appointed guardian because he/she wants the money and power.”
