Who is responsible for notifying the State in In Rem foreclosure?

• A. Attorney-General of NJ
• B. Clerk
• C. County Clerk
• D. State Bar Association

Answer: (A)

In Rem foreclosure is a proceeding where the property itself is the subject of the action, often tied to state or public interests such as tax liens. In New Jersey, when the state has an interest or needs to supervise compliance with state laws in these actions, the proper official to notify is the Attorney General. The Attorney General represents the state in court and coordinates with state agencies, ensuring the foreclosure follows statutory requirements and protects public interests. While the clerk or county clerk handle filing, service, and case administration, the formal notice to the state goes to the Attorney General’s Office. The State Bar Association is not involved in these notifications.
