An inherited house in Clinton Township, handled with care.

Inherited property in Clinton Township
What families find in Clinton Township.
Clinton Township spreads over about 34 square miles of north-central Hunterdon, taking in Sunnyside, Potterstown, Cokesbury and Annandale, along with Round Valley Reservoir and the ring of Cushetunk Mountain. It surrounds Lebanon Borough entirely and is crossed by I-78, Route 31 and Route 22. A house left by a parent here might sit on a neighborhood street near the Annandale train station or on a bigger lot out toward the reservoir.
Three ZIP codes, one township
Homes here may carry a Clinton 08809, Annandale 08801 or Lebanon 08833 address. An executor can find the same property under different town names on mail, insurance and the tax bill. We match the parcel to the deed with the family so the estate's records line up before closing.
Mostly Planning Area
Only about 640 acres here are mapped in the Highlands Preservation Area; roughly 21,000 of the 21,700 total fall in the Planning Area. Heirs holding a larger parcel may still want to confirm which applies before deciding its future. We buy the property in its present form, on either side of that line.
Boundaries that moved
The township was split off from its Lebanon neighbor in 1841, and parts of it were later used to form High Bridge, the Town of Clinton and Lebanon Borough. Old deeds in a family's files may describe the property under an earlier municipality. We handle the title work with the family as part of the purchase.
Probate for a Clinton Township 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 →

Clinton Township questions
Is a house north of Round Valley in Clinton Township or Lebanon Borough?
Lebanon Borough is a separate borough completely surrounded by Clinton Township, so the tax bill is the way to be certain. We purchase in both.
I live in Annandale but my sister is out of state. How do you work with both of us?
We speak with each heir separately and privately, so living far away does not leave anyone out of the conversation.
Where is probate filed for a house in Clinton Township?
Probate for someone who lived in Clinton Township 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 Clinton 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.
