Inherited property in Audubon Park
What families find in Audubon Park.
Audubon Park is Camden County's most recently formed municipality, a borough of just 0.17 square miles wedged between Oaklyn, Audubon, and Haddon Township. It was built in 1941 as federal defense housing for New York Shipbuilding workers and became a borough in 1947. For an heir, the key point is that homes here are not individually deeded: a mutual housing corporation holds the land and buildings, and a parent who lived here held a share in it.
A share, not a deed
Because every parcel in the borough belongs to the borough's mutual housing corporation, a parent here held a membership share rather than title to a house. Settling the estate means following the corporation's procedures for that share in addition to the court process. Families should contact the corporation early to learn what it requires from an executor or heir.
Monthly fee keeps running
Each share carries a monthly fee paid to the corporation, which helps cover utilities, property taxes, and similar costs. That charge does not stop at a member's death, so the estate needs a plan for covering it while the transfer is worked out. Asking what is owed belongs in the first conversation with the corporation.
Who repairs what
The 1941 homes are attached, in one- and two-story form, and must be painted white outside. A member is responsible for upkeep of their own home; the corporation's maintenance staff takes on serious structural problems and the grounds. Before an heir agrees to any repair or transfer, it helps to confirm which work falls to the estate.
Probate for a Audubon Park property
The Camden 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 Camden County that's the Camden County Surrogate's Court in Camden. 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 →

Audubon Park questions
My father held a share in Audubon Park. Can Gembrook buy it from the estate?
Possibly not in the usual way. The borough's housing corporation sets who may hold a share, including income and credit requirements, so we would go over its rules together and give you an honest answer about whether we can take part.
Can the share pass to a child or grandchild instead?
Shares and units in Audubon Park have often been handed down within families, but each transfer runs through the corporation. The corporation is the place to confirm what an heir must do.
Where is probate filed for a house in Audubon Park?
Probate for someone who lived in Audubon Park is handled by the Camden County Surrogate's Court in Camden. 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 Audubon Park 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.
