19. Registration of guardianship or conservatorship orders.
If a guardian has been appointed in another state and an application for the appointment of a guardian of the person or estate, or both, is not pending in this State, or if a conservator has been appointed in another state and an application for the appointment of a conservator is not pending in this State, the guardian or conservator appointed in the other state, after giving notice to the appointing court of an intent to register, may register the guardianship or conservatorship order in this State with the Surrogate, as Deputy Clerk of the Superior Court, Chancery Division, Probate Part, in an appropriate county of this State, pursuant to the Rules of Court of the State of New Jersey, by filing certified copies of the order and letters of office, and of any bond, as appropriate. For purposes of a guardian of the person, an appropriate county is any county where the guardian seeks to maintain an action or proceeding on behalf of the incapacitated person; for purposes of a guardian of the property or of a conservatorship, an appropriate county is the county where the property belonging to the incapacitated person or conservatee is located.
