Inherited property in Fieldsboro
What families find in Fieldsboro.
With roughly 530 residents, the borough of Fieldsboro sits on the Delaware with Bordentown Township wrapped around its land side. No town in Burlington County covers less ground; its total area is well under half a square mile. Created from Mansfield Township as Fieldsborough in 1850 and taking its name from the local Field family, it gained full independence in 1894. With so few houses, a family settling a parent's estate here is handling one of a small number of homes in town.
Very few comparable sales
In 2010 Fieldsboro had about 220 houses, so few change hands in a typical year and recent sales to compare against are scarce. That can make it hard for heirs to agree on what a parent's home is worth. Gembrook explains how we arrived at our proposal to each heir, privately and separately.
Its own borough, shared ZIP
Mail here is addressed to Bordentown 08505, yet the borough elects its own governing body and keeps its own tax records; since 2015, its police coverage has come by contract from Bordentown City. Estate paperwork can easily list the wrong town. Our title work confirms the borough's own records for the parent's house.
Riverside lots
About 22 percent of the borough's area is water, and it fronts the Delaware. A parent's house near the river may carry flood insurance or questions the family hasn't seen before. We go over the property with the heirs and buy it without asking them to address those issues first.
Probate for a Fieldsboro 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 →

Fieldsboro questions
There's barely anything for sale in Fieldsboro. How would we even know what Mom's house is worth?
Limited sales make pricing harder in a borough this small. We walk each heir through how we reached our number so everyone can weigh it on their own.
Dad's tax bills say Fieldsboro, but his mail said Bordentown. Which town handles the estate's property records?
Fieldsboro does. It shares a mailing ZIP with Bordentown but keeps its own records, and we confirm them during our title work.
Where is probate filed for a house in Fieldsboro?
Probate for someone who lived in Fieldsboro 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 Fieldsboro 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.
