Dennis Adler is held on $100,000 bail.
Police were called to the 57-year-old's former home in Keansburg on Tuesday after a cleaning service discovered the remains.
The Monmouth County Prosecutor's Office says dental records confirmed the remains are Kimberly Adler. Officials believe she was likely 23 years old at the time of her death around 2008.
The prosecutor's office says the daughter was never reported missing.
