Inherited property in Gloucester Township
What families find in Gloucester Township.
Gloucester Township, dating to 1695, spreads across central Camden County and contains many villages: Erial, Chews Landing, Blackwood, Lakeland, Glendora, Hilltop, Blenheim, Grenloch, and a share of Sicklerville. Three major roads, the Expressway, Route 168, and Route 42, run through its western half, and Big Timber Creek passes on its way to the Delaware. Because so many addresses use village names, a parent's papers may never say Gloucester Township, which is often the first thing an executor here has to sort out.
Village names on records
Mail in the township often goes to Blackwood, Glendora, Erial, or another village name, and only part of Sicklerville is in the township. An heir going through a parent's bills and deed may be unsure which municipality taxes the house. Gembrook confirms the correct municipality and records as part of the title work it handles for the estate.
Blackwood's older core
Settlement at Blackwood began about 1750 where roads met along the Black Horse Pike. Its 42-acre historic district gained National Register listing in 1989, and the lake served as a summer destination between 1891 and 1932. An inherited house in that older core may need updates the family has no interest in managing. Gembrook takes it as it stands.
Creek branches and flooding
Big Timber Creek crosses the township from east to west, and its South Branch turns tidal below Blackwood Lake. A parent's house close to any branch of the creek may carry flood-zone status and insurance costs the estate must keep up. With no lender in Gembrook's purchase, flood conditions from a bank are not a factor in timing.
Probate for a Gloucester Township 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 →

Gloucester Township questions
Dad's deed says Chews Landing. Is the house in Gloucester Township?
Chews Landing is one of the township's unincorporated communities, so most likely yes. The tax bill confirms it, and Gembrook checks during title work.
We inherited a house in Erial and live out of state. How involved do we need to be?
Gembrook speaks with each heir separately by phone, works with the executor or administrator, and handles title work, so much of the process can happen remotely.
Where is probate filed for a house in Gloucester Township?
Probate for someone who lived in Gloucester Township 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 Gloucester 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.
