Inherited property in Haddon Township
What families find in Haddon Township.
Haddon Township sits just east of Camden, and its downtown, Westmont, runs along Haddon Avenue by the PATCO station of the same name. Formed in 1865, the township later gave up land that became Audubon, Collingswood, Haddonfield, Haddon Heights, Oaklyn, and Woodlynne. Two pieces of it remain separated from the rest, out by Route 168 and U.S. 130. Inherited homes here are often older houses with original systems, and an executor may first need to confirm the house is actually in Haddon Township.
The two exclaves
Two neighborhoods, West Collingswood Extension and West Collingswood Heights, belong to Haddon Township even though they do not touch its main body. A parent's tax bills and permits there run through Haddon Township even though the names suggest Collingswood. Gembrook verifies the right town and its records while handling title work for the estate.
Westmont's older houses
Westmont, the township's downtown, has had a fire company since 1902 and is centered on Haddon Avenue near the PATCO station. Older houses in Westmont and Bluebird often still have original systems. When heirs inherit one, Gembrook takes it in its current state, so the family is not managing upgrades while the estate is open.
Sections and localities
Other sections carry names such as Bettlewood, Bluebird, and the three Heather developments (Woods, Glen, and House), and smaller localities include Oakdale, Cuthbert, and Crystal Lake. A parent's papers may use any of these names. Gembrook looks at the specific street and house rather than a township-wide average.
Probate for a Haddon 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 →

Haddon Township questions
Mom's address says Westmont. Is that Haddon Township for the estate's purposes?
Yes. Westmont is the downtown section of Haddon Township, so the property's tax records sit with the township.
We inherited a house in West Collingswood Extension. Which town handles its taxes?
Haddon Township. That neighborhood is one of two detached parts of the township, and Gembrook confirms the records as part of title work.
Where is probate filed for a house in Haddon Township?
Probate for someone who lived in Haddon 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 Haddon 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.
