Fazilat v. Feldstein
Supreme Court of New Jersey

1Opinion of the CourtJustice Long
On this appeal, we have been asked to determine whether a plaintiff should be permitted to pursue an action for a declaration of paternity and child support against a decedent’s fully distributed estate. Resolution of that issue requires us to analyze the interplay between the New Jersey Parentage Act, N.J.S.A 9:17—38 to -59, and the Administration of Estates of Decedents and Others Act, N.J.S.A 3B:1-1 to 3B:29-1 (Probate Code), in light of the public policy implications undergirding each. We hold that thé paternity action may proceed but that the claim for child support is barred.
