Inherited property in Pennsauken
What families find in Pennsauken.
Across the Delaware from Philadelphia, Pennsauken Township covers roughly 12 square miles, touching Cherry Hill, Merchantville, Collingswood and Camden, plus Maple Shade, Cinnaminson and Palmyra in Burlington County. Created out of Stockton Township in 1892, it is a patchwork of named sections such as Wellwood, Morrisville, Bethel, Fish House and Delair. With about 13,300 housing units counted in 2010, inherited properties here range from riverside homes in older sections to houses near the township's industrial corridors.
Many sections, one township
Pennsauken includes more than a dozen place names, from Delair and Fish House to Jordantown, Homesteadville and Merchantville Park. Relatives often know a parent's house by its neighborhood name rather than the municipality on the deed. We sort out the correct lot and township during title work, so the estate's paperwork matches the property.
Near the river
The Delaware forms the township's western boundary, and the 392-acre Petty's Island, once used for oil storage, is being handed over to the state to become parkland. Older homes in river sections can have moisture or flood-insurance questions that an estate has to answer while the house stands empty. We take those properties as they are and handle repairs after closing.
Next to industry and highways
Five state and federal routes run through Pennsauken, including 130 and 73, and the township contains a sizable industrial park. A parent's house near warehouses or busy roads is often the home the family grew up in, even if it would not suit every buyer. We look at the location plainly and explain our thinking to each heir separately.
Probate for a Pennsauken 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 →

Pennsauken questions
The deed says Pennsauken but we always called Dad's neighborhood Delair. Is that a problem?
No. Delair is one of several place names within Pennsauken Township. We confirm the exact lot and municipality during the title search.
Our parents' house near the river has been sitting empty during the estate. What do you need from us?
Mostly the name of the executor or administrator and access to the house. We take it in its current condition, and family members can remove belongings before closing.
Where is probate filed for a house in Pennsauken?
Probate for someone who lived in Pennsauken 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 Pennsauken 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.
