Inherited property in Voorhees
What families find in Voorhees.
Spread over roughly 11.6 square miles, Voorhees Township meets Lawnside, Somerdale, Lindenwold, Gibbsboro, Berlin Township, Evesham and Cherry Hill. Separated from Waterford in 1899 and given the name of the sitting governor, it includes Echelon, Ashland, Kirkwood, Kresson, Osage, Glendale and Brighton Heights. Route 73 carries most traffic, and PATCO stops at Ashland within the township. With about 12,300 housing units counted in 2010, inherited properties here range widely, and the estate's first task is often understanding which part of town the house is in.
Echelon and its neighbors
Echelon, the largest community, grew around what was once the Echelon Mall and is now the Voorhees Town Center, where the municipal offices sit. Family members may know a parent's address as Echelon, Kirkwood or Ashland, but the deed reads Voorhees. We confirm the correct lot during title work and take the house as it stands.
From farm to vineyard
The Stafford Farm, granted to John Stafford in 1773, was farmed by his family for more than two centuries before Saddlehill Vineyard and Winery opened on the site in 2021. Some families in Voorhees inherit land with that kind of long history. We can talk with heirs about a parent's property, whatever its size, and explain our view to each person separately.
Near the hospital corridor
Virtua's Voorhees hospital has stood on Route 73 since 2011, and trains from the Ashland stop run straight to Philadelphia. Heirs who live in the city or farther away may visit only occasionally while the estate is being handled. We set closing around the estate's paperwork so the family is not rushed.
Probate for a Voorhees 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 →

Voorhees questions
Mom's Voorhees home is in an association. Who deals with the dues and resale paperwork during the estate?
Association charges usually continue while the estate is open, and the association may have its own resale steps. We coordinate those requirements as part of closing.
Dad's address says Echelon. Is that Voorhees?
Echelon is a community within Voorhees Township. The deed and tax bill confirm the municipality, and we check them during the title search.
Where is probate filed for a house in Voorhees?
Probate for someone who lived in Voorhees 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 Voorhees 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.
