Q: What is the tort form I need to fill out in wrongful death of spouse with in 90 days
A: More information would be needed to properly answer your question but it seems like you may need to complete a notice of tort claim form. If you have a personal injury case against a governmental entity or person I suggest that you hire a lawyer if you wish to collect money.

A: Any potential claim against a governmental entity and/or its employees, such as a town, county, the state, a police department, a board of education and many others requires that a Notice of Claim be filed with the proper agent for the receipt of the said notice, within 90 days of the event. Failure to do so, will bar any chance of sueing that entity and/or its employees. The said cases are governed by the NJ Tor Claims Act: NJSA 59. You should hire a lawyer, no doubt.
