Unless the property was held in joint tenancy with someone who is still alive, or was conveyed into a trust before death, you are going to have to go through probate.

Probably easiest to get it into wife's name first and then have her deed it. Depending on current title, and value of property, some type of probate proceeding may be required. Call me to discuss your options. I conduct probates throughout California. -John
