New Jersey Revised Statutes § 54:4-8.18 - Continuance To Deduction Right; Change In Status

54:4-8.18. Continuance to deduction right; change in status
Where title to property as to which a veteran's deduction is claimed is held by claimant and another or others, either as tenants in common or as joint tenants, a claimant shall not be allowed a veteran's deduction in an amount in excess of his or her proportionate share of the taxes assessed against said property, which proportionate share, for the purposes of this act, shall be deemed to be equal to that of each of the other tenants, unless the conveyance under which title is held specifically provides unequal interests, in which event claimant's interest shall be as specifically established in said conveyance. Property held by husband and wife, as tenants by the entirety, shall be deemed to be wholly owned by each tenant. Nothing herein shall preclude more than one tenant, whether title be held in common, joint tenancy or by the entirety, from claiming a veteran's deduction from the tax assessed against the property so held. Right to claim a veteran's deduction hereunder shall extend to property title to which is held by a partnership, to the extent of the claimant's interest as a partner therein, and by a guardian, trustee, committee, conservator or other fiduciary for any person who would otherwise be entitled to claim a veteran's deduction hereunder, but not to property the title to which is held by a corporation, except that a tenant shareholder in a cooperative or mutual housing corporation shall be entitled to claim a veteran's deduction to the extent of his proportionate share of the taxes assessed against the real property of the corporation or any other entity holding title.
