Selling an Inherited House in Voorhees, NJ

Voorhees is a Camden County township of subdivisions and townhome communities, and estate sales are one of the recurring reasons houses there change hands. Whether the property is a detached home or a townhome, an heir has to establish authority before doing anything with it. In New Jersey, the county Surrogate issues that authority.

What’s different in Voorhees

Letters first, then the Camden County process

The Camden County Surrogate's Court handles the probate of wills and the administration of estates with no will. Applicants fill out an Estate Information Sheet and submit it by mail, drop box or an appointment. The county lists weekday hours of 8:30 a.m. to 4:00 p.m., and payment is cash, money order or check. Voorhees heirs who work should plan for a weekday and check the county's online scheduling portal for appointments. If an heir lives out of state, mail and the drop box are the remote options the county lists.

How the tax waiver is requested

For deaths on or after January 1, 2018, the Division of Taxation's Form L-9 is the affidavit used to request a real property tax waiver, but only if every beneficiary is Class A and no inheritance or estate tax is due. The form is notarized, sent with the will, deed, letters and death certificate to the Division of Taxation, Transfer Inheritance Tax, P.O. Box 249, Trenton, NJ 08695-0249. It is not filed with the County Clerk. If the spouse survives and the house was held as tenants by the entirety, no waiver is needed.

Townhomes and updates

The city data lists dated homes needing updates among Voorhees's recurring issues, and the township has many townhome communities. An inherited townhome brings association documents, dues and perhaps rules about leasing or selling. A detached house inherited from a long-time owner may have a kitchen and baths that have not changed in decades, and a buyer who takes the house as it is prices that into the offer instead of asking the family to renovate. List what you know of both, and the title company will ask for the rest.

Checklist before you sell

Certified death certificate and the original will, if one exists
Letters from the Camden County Surrogate
Deed and any record of how title was held
Beneficiary list with relationships, for the Class A test
Association documents, dues ledger and manager contact for a townhome
Property tax, water and utility bills, and any notices
A walk-through list of rooms that have not been updated

How Kaizen can help

Send us the Voorhees address and whether it is a townhome or a detached house. We look at what is there and give a cash offer in 24 hours. You do not need to update anything or hold an estate sale first.

We cannot say who is allowed to sign or advise on taxes. Your attorney and a tax professional do that. We can fit the closing date to the estate's calendar. Call 267-329-0084. Then compare the offer with what a listing nets after updates, commission and carrying costs.

Inherited Property in Voorhees: questions

Can a Voorhees townhome be sold while the estate is open?

Sometimes. It depends on the will, the letters and the title company's requirements. Ask your estate attorney before you sign a contract.

Do I need to file Form L-9?

Only if every beneficiary is Class A and no New Jersey inheritance or estate tax is due. Otherwise a tax professional will advise which filings the Division requires.

Does the house need updates before heirs sell?

Not for a cash as-is buyer. The offer reflects the updates the house needs, and the heirs do not pay for them.

What does the estate pay at closing?

The state tax guide says the seller pays the Realty Transfer Fee at closing, based on the sale price. An estate completes one GIT/REP form for the deed.
