Hunterdon County, New Jersey
An inherited house in Alexandria, handled with care.

Inherited property in Alexandria
What families find in Alexandria.
For a family handling a parent's estate, an Alexandria Township property is usually a rural one: a farmhouse or country home in Pittstown, Little York, Everittstown or Mount Pleasant, with fields stretching between the hamlets. The township follows the Delaware River opposite Bucks County, Pennsylvania, and is reached by county roads 513 and 519 rather than any state or federal highway. Heirs who live elsewhere often find that simply getting out to the house takes some planning.
Testing the well water
When an inherited house is served by a private well, New Jersey's Private Well Testing Act requires the water to be tested before title passes, and both buyer and seller review the results. An estate rarely has records of earlier tests. We take the property in its present state and work through the closing steps alongside the family.
Where the Highlands line falls
Roughly 2,700 of the township's 17,800 or so acres lie within the Highlands Preservation Area, and the remainder is Planning Area. Heirs wondering whether a parent's back acreage could someday be split off would need to know which side applies, research that can drag on while an estate is open. We purchase the land as it is today.
Fields under farmland assessment
If a parent's land was taxed under New Jersey farmland assessment, a sale alone does not set off rollback taxes, but a change in use does, and fields left idle can count. Rollback reaches the year of the change plus the two tax years before it. That is worth knowing when deciding how long the estate holds the land.
Probate for a Alexandria property
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 →

Alexandria questions
Our mother's house is in Pittstown. Which township sends the tax bill?
Pittstown spreads over Alexandria, Franklin and Union townships, so the municipality printed on the tax bill, along with the block and lot, settles it. We purchase in all three.
None of us live near Alexandria. Do we have to come clear out the house?
No. Family members can take the things that matter to them, and we buy the house with whatever is left inside. We also speak with each heir separately and privately, wherever they live.
Where is probate filed for a house in Alexandria?
Probate for someone who lived in Alexandria is handled by the Hunterdon County Surrogate's Court in Flemington. That's where a will is admitted, or an administrator is appointed when there's no will. When your family sells to Gembrook Properties, we handle this step with you, and in most cases you just sign where needed.
Can you cover the probate costs for a Alexandria property?
Yes, when your family sells the inherited property to Gembrook Properties. In many cases we cover the cost of opening the estate, including the family's estate attorney fees, so the family pays nothing out of pocket.
What if the heirs don't agree?
That's common. We speak with each heir separately and privately, so no one has to negotiate as a group, and the executor or court-appointed administrator signs the sale.
