Inherited property in Riverside
What families find in Riverside.
Riverside Township fits into roughly 1.6 square miles along the Delaware, between Delanco and Delran. Set off from Delran in 1895, it went by Progress at first, then took a name that reflects its place on the river. Homes stand close together, with a density above 5,000 people per square mile, and the River Line station is on Zurbrugg Way. An inherited house here is often one of the town's older homes on a tightly packed block.
Old houses, close quarters
In 2010 the township counted about 3,150 housing units, packed into under 1.5 square miles. On blocks that dense, arranging contractors and permits for an empty house can be difficult for heirs who live elsewhere. We take the house as it is now, and the work becomes ours after closing.
The Watch Case years
The Philadelphia Watch Case factory on Pavilion Avenue, completed in 1908 and on the National Register since 1978, was largely vacant once the company shut down in the mid-1950s; its conversion to housing was approved in 2021. A house a parent owned here may date from those industrial years and still carry original systems. We buy it without updates.
Rentals near the River Line
Riverside's station has light rail to Trenton and Camden, and NJ Transit's 419 bus serves Burlington and Camden. If a parent owned a rental here, the estate takes on the leases along with the building. We can purchase it with tenants still in place.
Probate for a Riverside 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 →

Riverside questions
Dad rented out part of his Riverside house. Can the estate sell it with the tenant there?
That's possible. Gembrook purchases occupied properties and takes over existing leases, so the estate isn't left managing a tenancy.
The Riverside house needs a roof and plumbing work. Do the heirs have to split repair costs before selling?
Not if the estate sells to us. We buy the house as it stands, so no one has to pay for repairs before closing.
Where is probate filed for a house in Riverside?
Probate for someone who lived in Riverside 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 Riverside 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.
