Inherited property in Willingboro
What families find in Willingboro.
Willingboro Township spans roughly 8 square miles, bounded by Rancocas Creek to the southwest and U.S. 130 to the northwest. Most of it went up from the late 1950s into the 1960s as the builder Levitt and Sons' third Levittown; the first houses sold in June 1958, and from 1959 to 1963 the township went by Levittown. Many inherited houses here are original Levitt homes that a parent expanded or changed over the years.
Additions over the decades
Levitt's models, the Jubilee through the Country Clubber, were built to be expanded, and owners have enlarged or altered many of them. When heirs inherit one, the permit history for older additions can be unclear, and that tends to surface during a sale. We buy the house with its additions as they are.
Sections called parks
The township is organized into parks, among them Twin Hill, Rittenhouse, Garfield, Buckingham, and Pennypacker, with streets in each starting with the park's letter. Heirs who grew up elsewhere can find a parent's address by its park. Whichever one it is in, we review the house with the family and speak with each heir privately.
Low ground near the creek
Rancocas Creek drains Willingboro and forms its southwest edge. A family house on low ground near the creek may come with flood-zone questions, and heirs may not know the home's water history. We buy it without a lender, so flood-insurance conditions aren't part of the purchase.
Probate for a Willingboro 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 →

Willingboro questions
Dad's house in Willingboro is a Levitt original with a converted garage. Does the estate need permits sorted before selling?
Not to sell to us. We buy Levitt-era homes with additions and conversions as they stand, and we look into the records as part of our title work.
Our mother's house in Willingboro has been empty for a while. Who keeps an eye on it during the sale?
We coordinate visits and the property side with the executor, so heirs who live elsewhere don't have to manage it.
Where is probate filed for a house in Willingboro?
Probate for someone who lived in Willingboro 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 Willingboro 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.
