Legal Question in Wills and Trusts in California

Re: estate

Seems to me you can either sell it or rent it out.

Re: estate

You need to file something of record in the county where the land is located. If you mom gave you a deed, then you need to record the deed. If your mom gave it to you with a will you need to probate the will in where your mom died and file a copy in California. Best bet is to call the county clerk in the county and get their recomendation.

Re: estate

It depends how she gave it to you--by deed, or joint tenancy, or trust or will--the answer depends on that. Have an attorney review the document, and he/she can advise you regarding the steps, if any, you need to take.
