Inherited property in Runnemede
What families find in Runnemede.
Runnemede covers roughly two square miles on Route 168, next to Deptford Township, Gloucester Township, Magnolia, Barrington and Bellmawr. According to local historians, farms covered the area until the 1920s, when the highway to the Shore came through; incorporation followed in 1926. Glendora and Turnpike Exit 3 both lie partly within the borough. Inherited homes here are often mid-century houses on former farm ground, held by one family for a long time.
Farms turned to houses
Farm fields gave way to houses once the highway arrived, and in 2020 only about 1.5 percent of owner homes were vacant, so houses seldom sit empty for long. An inherited home is often one a parent bought decades ago and filled over a lifetime. We purchase the house with its contents, after the family has taken what they want to keep.
Glendora on the deed
Glendora straddles Runnemede's boundary, and the borough also meets Deptford Township across the county line. Heirs sometimes are not certain which municipality a parent's house is in. We confirm the lot and municipality during title work, so the estate's documents and the sale line up.
Near Route 168
The mayor has called Runnemede's section of Route 168 the Pike's only traditional downtown, and a piece of Turnpike Exit 3 sits in the borough. A house near these roads may need regular checks while empty. We work with the executor on a closing date that suits the estate and speak with each heir privately along the way.
Probate for a Runnemede 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 →

Runnemede questions
Dad's address says Glendora. Is the house in Runnemede?
Glendora falls partly within Runnemede and partly outside it. The deed and tax records settle the question, and we confirm them during the title search.
We need time to finish the estate. Will you wait?
Yes. We work around the estate's timeline and close when the executor or administrator has authority to sign.
Where is probate filed for a house in Runnemede?
Probate for someone who lived in Runnemede 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 Runnemede 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.
