§ 54:36-1 — Vested remainders after estate for life or years

When a person shall bequeath or devise, convey, grant, sell or give any property or interest therein, or income therefrom, to a person or corporation for life or for a term of years, and a vested interest in the remainder or corpus of such property to a person or to a body politic or corporate, the whole of the property so transferred shall be appraised immediately at its clear market value. The value of the life estate or estate for a term of years shall be fixed in the manner provided in section 54:36-2 of this title. The value of the remainder in the property so limited shall be ascertained by deducting the value of the life estate or estate for a term of years from the appraised market value of the property so limited. The tax on such estate or estates, remainder or remainders, interest or interests, shall be immediately due and payable and remain a lien upon the entire property so limited until paid.
