County Surrogate Court Offices in South Jersey

Each New Jersey county has a surrogate. The surrogate's office is where a will is probated, and where someone is named to handle an estate when there is no will. The Camden and Atlantic county pages say their offices also handle guardianships and adoptions. Addresses and phone numbers are from the NJ Courts list of county surrogates, updated January 27, 2026, and from the county's own page where it could be read. Many offices see people by appointment, so call before you go.
