Monmouth County Surrogate
launches new online eFile service

FREEHOLD, NJ – Monmouth County Surrogate Maureen T. Raisch has announced the launch of eFile, a new online service that allows residents and professionals to securely access the probate process online from anywhere, including the comfort of home.

“At the Surrogate’s Office, we understand dealing with sensitive matters can be stressful,” said Surrogate Raisch. “That is why we offer our applicants the freedom to choose the location where they want to complete the process. You can select a place where you feel most comfortable and in control. We aim to make this experience as smooth and stress-free as possible.”

“Introducing the new eFile service is expected to bring significant benefits to residents and families,” said Commissioners Director Thomas A. Arnone. “The service provides probate applicants with the option to file online and work remotely with probate clerks. This will simplify the process for the applicant because the eFile service is available 24 hours a day, seven days a week.”

“The Surrogate’s website now features a link to the eFile portal at www.visitmonmouth.com/surrogate. The portal enables applicants to enter necessary information and upload required documents,” said Commissioner Erik Anderson, liaison to the Monmouth County Surrogate’s Office. “The main office in Freehold, along with satellite offices in Neptune and Shrewsbury, will continue to assist residents and families with matters such as probate, estate administration, adoptions and guardianship. The services are available through phone, email, fax, in person and now electronically through the new eFile portal.”

“My office strives to provide exceptional support to residents of Monmouth County and their families during the difficult time of grieving the loss of a loved one,” said Surrogate Raisch. “My goal is to simplify and streamline the process, ensuring that everyone can easily access compassionate and supportive services.”
