Yes, a non-Californian can be named as administrator of an estate.
In this situation, the courts normally require a bond whether the beneficiaries waive it or not. The size of the bond depends on what you decide to do? For real property, if you ask for limited authority, then the court will ask for a very small bond. As for cash and personal property, you will still have to post bond for the value of those assets unless you tell the court you prefer to put cash in a block account, which prevents the administrator from accessing that account without court approve.
