Inherited property in Delran
What families find in Delran.
Delran Township lies where Rancocas Creek reaches the Delaware, across from Philadelphia, and was formed from Cinnaminson in 1880. Its roughly 6,800 homes are spread among sections like Cambridge, Fairview, Bridgeboro, Milltown, Chesterville, and Riverside Park, and Route 130 carries most traffic. Families inheriting a parent's home here may be dealing with a house in an inland neighborhood or one near River Drive, where the river has been the main concern in recent years.
River Drive's repeated floods
Homes around River Drive have seen roughly ten floods since 2011, with January 2024 the most severe on record; a house on Alden Avenue was condemned when water pushed up through the floors. If a parent's house was in this area, the estate may be holding a damaged or condemned property. Gembrook buys these homes as they stand.
A shrinking riverbank
According to township officials, erosion has cut the bank along River Drive to about half its original depth, and federal engineers from the Army Corps have this part of the river under study. Heirs don't need to wait on that study to decide about a parent's home. We look at the property with the family as it is now.
Inland sections too
Not every Delran estate involves the river. Away from the water, in sections like Cambridge and Fairview, an inherited house may simply be dated. Trains on the River Line don't stop in Delran, though NJ Transit buses run along Route 130. Gembrook purchases homes throughout Delran and works with the estate on timing.
Probate for a Delran 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 →

Delran questions
The township condemned my mother's house near River Drive after the flood. Can the estate still sell it?
Yes. Gembrook buys condemned and heavily damaged homes and works through the municipal and title steps with the estate.
Does our family need to hold off until the federal river study is done before deciding about Dad's Delran house?
That decision is yours. We can make our proposal on the home in its current state, whether or not any project goes forward.
Where is probate filed for a house in Delran?
Probate for someone who lived in Delran 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 Delran 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.
