Inherited property in Bordentown Township
What families find in Bordentown Township.
Bordentown Township curves around Bordentown City and follows the Delaware opposite Falls Township in Pennsylvania. The township was split off from Mansfield and Chesterfield in 1852 and gained over 3,000 residents in the two decades after 2000, which means an inherited home here may be an older house in a long-settled section or a newer place in a subdivision. Sections such as Dunns Mill, Bossert Estates, and Newbold Island lie close to the Turnpike, Route 206, Route 130, and I-295.
Association dues during probate
Much of the township's recent growth came through developments, and some of them have homeowners associations. When the owner passes, those monthly dues keep arriving while the estate is being opened, and the association will want its own resale documents at transfer. Gembrook handles that paperwork and settles what is owed when we buy the home.
Near the Duck Island marsh
At the mouth of Crosswicks Creek, the state protects the Trenton-Hamilton Marsh within its Duck Island Recreation Area, and the old 40-acre Parklands dump was converted to solar panels in 2014. A parent's house near low ground may raise questions the family can't easily answer. We look at the property with the heirs and take it as it is.
Inheriting a rental
Easy access to the Turnpike and I-295 brings renters who commute. If a parent owned a rental here, the estate takes over the tenant and the lease along with the house. We can purchase it occupied, so the family does not have to act as landlord.
Probate for a Bordentown Township 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 →

Bordentown Township questions
The HOA keeps billing our late father's account in Bordentown Township. What happens to that balance?
Unpaid dues stay with the property, and they are paid off when the house is sold. When Gembrook buys, we request the association's figures and clear the balance at closing.
None of us want to manage Dad's rental in Bordentown Township. Can Gembrook take it with the tenant?
Yes. We can buy an occupied home, step into the lease, and deal with the tenant from that point forward.
Where is probate filed for a house in Bordentown Township?
Probate for someone who lived in Bordentown Township 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 Bordentown Township 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.
