Inherited property in Wrightstown
What families find in Wrightstown.
Wrightstown is a borough of about 1.85 square miles carved in 1918 out of New Hanover and North Hanover townships and named for settler John Wright. It sits directly beside the joint base's Fort Dix and McGuire sections, with Route 68 and County Route 545 passing through and East Main Street at its center. Its population is about 720. A family settling an estate in Wrightstown is usually dealing with a house in a very small market.
Tied to the base
Wrightstown's population has risen and fallen with the base, and the borough lost population as the base moved toward a reservist mission. Heirs who grew up here may now live elsewhere, leaving a parent's house with no one nearby to look after it. We handle the property locally and stay in contact with each heir.
Very few homes
In 2010 there were roughly 350 housing units in the borough, and the number of residents fell about 10% by 2020. An estate holding a house here keeps paying taxes and insurance while it waits for a buyer. We give the family a direct offer and set the closing around the estate.
Heirs on orders
Because the borough borders two sections of the base, some heirs may be service members whose orders take them far away. We coordinate the sale with each heir separately, and closing documents can go through the title company wherever they are.
Probate for a Wrightstown 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 →

Wrightstown questions
Dad rented his Wrightstown house out. Can the estate sell it with tenants living there?
Yes. We buy occupied properties and take over the current lease.
None of the heirs live in New Jersey anymore. Can the estate still sell the Wrightstown house?
Yes. We speak with each heir by phone, handle the property side here, and coordinate signing through the title company.
Where is probate filed for a house in Wrightstown?
Probate for someone who lived in Wrightstown 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 Wrightstown 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.
