An inherited house in Palmyra, handled with care.

Inherited property in Palmyra
What families find in Palmyra.
Palmyra lies on the Delaware River opposite Philadelphia, where the Tacony-Palmyra Bridge, opened in 1929, carries Route 73 across and there is a River Line station on East Broad Street. Homes went up beside the railroad after 1834, and the oldest surviving house, a farmhouse, dates to 1761. The borough has about 3,500 homes. For heirs, an inherited Palmyra house is often an older one, and the estate may be handling it from out of town.
Houses from the railroad years
Building in Palmyra followed the rail line that arrived in 1834, decades before the borough separated from Cinnaminson in 1894. A house with that much age that one owner held for years can carry original wiring and heating. We buy it without the estate taking on renovations.
Close to the river
Along the Delaware, Palmyra has a nature park of 250 acres that opened in 1999 and doubles as a bird sanctuary. An inherited house near the river may raise flood-coverage questions for the estate. We take the property as it stands and do not make our purchase depend on flood insurance.
Inherited tenants
With a River Line station and its own bridge to Philadelphia, Palmyra is an easy commute. If a parent rented out the house, the estate inherits the tenants and the lease along with it. We can buy the property with tenants living there, so the estate doesn't have to manage the tenancy until it sells.
Probate for a Palmyra 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 →

Palmyra questions
Our late father rented out his Palmyra house. What happens to the tenants if the estate sells to you?
We can buy the house with the tenants in place and take over the lease, so the estate doesn't have to end the tenancy first.
None of us live near Palmyra. Can the estate sell without someone managing the house day to day?
Yes. We handle the property side, including visits, title work, and closing logistics, and speak with each heir separately wherever they live.
Where is probate filed for a house in Palmyra?
Probate for someone who lived in Palmyra 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 Palmyra 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.
