Inherited property in Pine Hill
What families find in Pine Hill.
A hilly, tree-covered borough, Pine Hill touches Winslow, Gloucester Township, Lindenwold, Clementon and Berlin, with County Route 534 as its one major road. Known in earlier days by the names Mont Ararat and Clementon Heights, it became its own borough in 1929, and in 2022 it took in neighboring Pine Valley and its golf club. Roughly 4,600 homes were counted in 2020. Families inheriting here often find a home on a sloped or tree-covered lot that a parent maintained for years.
Sloped, wooded lots
At an elevation near 174 feet, Pine Hill rises above much of the region, and many streets wind through trees. An inherited house on a hillside lot can face drainage, gutter and tree issues that build up quickly once no one is living there. We take the property as it stands, so heirs are not scheduling yard and roof work from afar.
Inside the old Pine Valley
Pine Valley, a gated borough of under two dozen homes inside its golf club, merged into Pine Hill at the start of 2022. A house behind those gates comes with access arrangements most estates have never handled. We are glad to talk with a family about a property there or anywhere else in the borough.
Borough-owned golf land
A second golf club, Trump National Philadelphia, leases roughly 365 acres of borough-owned land and pays rent in place of property tax. Pine Hill also maintains about two dozen miles of its own roads. For heirs, what matters is the specific house and its street, which is where we focus when we speak with each family member.
Probate for a Pine Hill 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 →

Pine Hill questions
Is Pine Hill in the Pinelands, and does that affect Mom's estate?
The Pinelands Commission does not list Pine Hill among Pinelands Area towns, though it does list Winslow and Berlin next door. We purchase Pine Hill homes in their current state either way.
Dad's Pine Hill house has drainage problems on a steep yard. Does the estate need to fix it first?
No. We take on grading and water issues ourselves after closing, so the family does not have to arrange repairs.
Where is probate filed for a house in Pine Hill?
Probate for someone who lived in Pine Hill 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 Pine Hill 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.
