New Consumer Guide: Your Home and Estate Planning
A home is a long-term financial asset. Estate planning helps you prepare for the future by deciding what happens to your home and other assets if you can no longer care for them. Here are the basics:
What is an estate plan, and how is it different from a will?
A will is a legal document that dictates what will happen to your assets after your death. Estate planning is a broader process of legal arrangements to prepare for matters when you pass away or during your life, in the event that you can no longer make decisions for yourself. In addition to your will, your estate plan may include trusts, durable power of attorney (allowing someone else to make decisions on your behalf), and/or other documents based on your specific needs. An estate attorney or financial planner can help you build a plan that fits your needs and complies with state laws.
When should I begin estate planning?
It is never too soon to start! Major personal and financial milestones like having children or purchasing a home are also good markers of when to start building or updating your plan. Having a set plan can help prevent issues and additional costs for your family.
How does owning a home affect my estate?
Your home is likely one of the most valuable things you own. It is important to know how the property is titled and what will happen to it if you’re no longer around. The way your name appears on the deed, whether there’s a mortgage, and whether you co-own the home are important details to know when planning your estate.

Building Hope, Empowering Women: NCJAR Participates in Habitat for Humanity’s Women’s Build
On Monday, May 12, 2025, a team of driven and compassionate women from NCJAR rolled up their sleeves and stepped onto the build site at 103 Valley View Drive in Rockaway, NJ, to support Habitat for Humanity’s transformative Women’s Build initiative.
From 8:30 AM to 4:00 PM, the volunteers joined together for a full day of hands-on service, tackling a range of construction tasks such as painting, sweeping, and installing flooring. Whether they were seasoned pros or first-time builders, each participant embraced the spirit of the day—demonstrating the power of teamwork, resilience, and community impact.
Empowering Through Action
The Women’s Build initiative is more than just a day of construction—it’s a movement to empower women, challenge stereotypes, and advance housing equity. NCJAR is proud to support this mission, reaffirming our commitment to building stronger communities and elevating women in all aspects of life, including real estate and leadership.

NJ REAL ESTATE Consumer Protection ACT 101
In July 2024, Governor Phil Murphy signed the Real Estate Consumer Protection Enhancement Act (RECPEA) into law, marking a significant shift in how real estate transactions are conducted in New Jersey. This important legislation, which took effect on August 1, 2024, enhances protections for both consumers and real estate professionals, prioritizing transparency and accountability in our industry.
To help our members stay compliant and informed, here are the top six updates every NCJAR REALTOR® should know:
1. Seller’s Property Condition Disclosure Statement Now Required
Sellers of residential properties are now required to provide a fully completed property condition disclosure statement before buyers become contractually obligated. This promotes transparency, enables informed decision-making, and helps reduce the risk of future disputes. Ensuring this document is completed and delivered on time is now a non-negotiable part of every residential listing.
2. Brokerage Service Agreements Are Mandatory
