Legal Question in Real Estate Law in California

Re: My husband death

Without a will or trust, you have to probate all his property to get title changed and authority to deal with it. If you can do all the pleadings and paperwork correctly, you can do it yourself. Otherwise, you need to hire someone that can.

Re: My husband death

Of course you can file by yourself, however, if your husband's estate is going to require a Probate, it is really not recommended that you do so. Probate can be very confusing and take a lot of time.

I would at least consult with an attorney and allow them to look over what you have so you can at least make an informed decision as to whether it is better to proceed on your own or not.

Re: My husband death

You can try. You can go to the law library in your county, and reseach probate procedure and law, and attempt to do this on your own. Alternatively, you can hire an attorney who is experienced and knows probate procedure and law, and get it resolved relatively quickly.
