N.J. Stat. § 16:13-8: Renunciation of charter upon incorporation under this chapter

The trustees of any Reformed congregation, by whatever name incorporated, may renounce or forego the charter or act by which they were incorporated and their name, by writing under their hands and seals and recorded with the county clerk, if the ministers, elders and deacons, or elders and deacons of the congregation, as the case may require, incorporate themselves pursuant to this chapter. Upon such incorporation and recording of such writing, their former incorporation shall cease and be dissolved, and all the real and personal property shall vest in the corporation formed under this chapter, the trustees of which shall be the legal successors in office to those of the former corporation and liable to their debts.
