Probate in Hunterdon County
The Hunterdon County Surrogate's Court, handled for you.
In New Jersey, an estate is opened in the county where the person who passed away lived. For Hunterdon County that's the Hunterdon County Surrogate's Court in Flemington. With a will, the executor is appointed there; without one, an administrator is appointed, and the other heirs typically sign renunciations.
Before an inherited house can be sold, New Jersey also usually needs an inheritance tax waiver — or, for close family, an affidavit — and any liens, judgments or back taxes have to be resolved. We coordinate all of it for you. Read our full New Jersey probate guide →

Yes, when your family sells the inherited property to Gembrook Properties. We handle the probate at the Hunterdon County Surrogate's Court and can cover the attorney's fees and court costs as part of our purchase. They're paid by us, not taken out of your proceeds.
