Inherited property in Springfield Township
What families find in Springfield Township.
Springfield Township is a farming township of about 30 square miles at the north end of Burlington County, with I-295 and the Turnpike crossing its west side without exits and U.S. 206 running through the middle. Jobstown and Juliustown are its villages, and a piece of the joint base's Fort Dix area is inside its borders. Heirs here often inherit a village house or a farm property, and in Springfield the farm may carry a permanent preservation restriction.
Preserved farms in the estate
With over 6,100 preserved acres, Springfield leads Burlington County in farmland preservation. That land remains privately owned but is restricted to agriculture by deed, permanently. If a parent's farm is preserved, that restriction passes to the heirs and to any buyer, and we go over those terms with the estate.
Jobstown and Juliustown
Each village has fewer than 400 residents, under ZIP codes 08041 and 08042, and the township had around 1,200 housing units in all as of 2010. A family house in either village may be decades past its last update. We buy it in its current state and talk privately with each heir.
Heirs on military assignment
The joint base's Fort Dix area reaches into Springfield. Heirs who are stationed elsewhere may need to settle a parent's house without being here. We coordinate visits, title work, and signing so the estate can move forward while they are away.
Probate for a Springfield Township 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 →

Springfield Township questions
Dad's farm in Springfield is in a preservation program. Can the estate sell the farmhouse?
Preserved farmland can be sold, and the agricultural restriction stays with the land. Gembrook looks at the preservation terms and the estate's title with the family before discussing an offer.
There's farm equipment and decades of belongings on the property. Do the heirs have to clear it out?
No. The family can keep what matters to them, and we take the property with what's left.
Where is probate filed for a house in Springfield Township?
Probate for someone who lived in Springfield Township 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 Springfield Township 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.
