An inherited house in Beverly, handled with care.

Inherited property in Beverly
What families find in Beverly.
Beverly is a small riverfront city on the Delaware, with Edgewater Park and Delanco on either side and Bensalem, Pennsylvania on the opposite bank. Organized first as a borough (1850) and then as a city (1857), it has homes that have stood for generations, some held by one family for decades. When a parent's Beverly home passes to children who now live elsewhere, the house can sit empty while the estate is opened and settled.
Taxes keep coming due
In 2020, Beverly's equalized property tax rate of 4.55% ranked 15th statewide, far higher than the county average of roughly 2.68 percent. An empty house still owes that bill every quarter while the estate is being administered. Gembrook works with the family to buy the property so those costs stop accruing to the heirs.
Generations of upkeep
With a town incorporated since the 1850s, many Beverly homes have been patched and added onto by owner after owner. A parent who lived in one for decades may have left original systems that were never brought up to date. We take the house in its present condition, so the heirs do not have to manage contractors from a distance.
Inheriting a tenant
About one in ten of Beverly's roughly 1,080 housing units stood empty in the 2020 census, and the River Line station shared with Edgewater Park draws renters. If a parent rented out a house here, the estate inherits that lease. Gembrook can buy it occupied, and the renter stays put.
Probate for a Beverly property
The Burlington 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 Burlington County that's the Burlington County Surrogate's Court in Mount Holly. 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 →

Beverly questions
Dad's Beverly house is full of his things. Do we have to empty it first?
No. Families can take what matters to them and leave the rest, and we handle what remains after we buy the house.
Can Gembrook talk with each of my siblings separately about the Beverly house?
Yes. We speak with each heir privately so everyone understands the proposal and can ask questions without pressure from the group.
Where is probate filed for a house in Beverly?
Probate for someone who lived in Beverly is handled by the Burlington County Surrogate's Court in Mount Holly. 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 Beverly 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.
