Inherited property in Clementon
What families find in Clementon.
Clementon lies along U.S. 30 around Clementon Lake, with Lindenwold, Pine Valley, Pine Hill, and Berlin Borough as neighbors. Its name comes from Samuel Clement, a Haddonfield man who acquired the local glass factory around 1811, and Gordon Lake and Brownsville are within its limits. Roughly 2,400 homes and apartments were counted here in 2020. Inherited homes in Clementon range from older houses in the original village to rentals a parent owned and managed.
Glass-works village houses
A glass factory dating to about 1800, which later took the name Gloucester Glass Works, was the town's starting point; borough status followed in 1925. A parent's home in the original village may have structural or mechanical needs that heirs living elsewhere cannot supervise. Gembrook takes such homes in their current condition, so no one has to manage repairs during the estate.
A parent's rental
Nearly 8 percent of Clementon's housing units were vacant in 2020, and some of the rest are rented. When a parent was a landlord, the estate inherits the tenants, the leases, and the duties that come with them. Gembrook can purchase a rented house while the tenant remains, so the family does not have to empty it to settle the estate.
Near the lake and park
The amusement park on the lake dates to 1907; it shut without warning in 2019, passed through receivership, and new owners opened it again in 2021. A family holding an inherited house near the lake will see seasonal crowds and noise come and go while the estate is open. Gembrook looks at lake-area houses as they are and works around the estate's timing.
Probate for a Clementon 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 →

Clementon questions
Dad rented out his Clementon house. Will Gembrook take it with the tenant there?
Yes. An occupied rental is something we can take on, honoring the lease already in place, so the estate does not need to deliver it vacant.
Are Brownsville and Gordon Lake part of Clementon?
Both are localities within the borough. If a parent's papers use one of those names, the tax bill confirms the municipality, and Gembrook verifies it during title work.
Where is probate filed for a house in Clementon?
Probate for someone who lived in Clementon 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 Clementon 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.
