Legal Question in Wills and Trusts in California

Re: excutoship

you should have received notices regarding probate of your father's estate. you will need to check the superior court in the county where your father died to see if a probate was opened. many counties have online information regarding cases - some including documents filed.

if the estate was substantial and no probate has been initiated, you will need to file a petition for probate yourself.

Re: excutoship

You need to ask him for this. If that won't work, you need to contact the courthouse where your father's will is probated. They are supposed to send you notice if you are an heir. I assume your father lived in California. If he lived here, I can give you more advice. Not sure the laws in California, but I know in AR they have to give you Notice of what is going on.

So, I would advise contacting the courthouse in the county that his will is being probated (usually the county he was living when he passed), and ask the clerk to send you copies of what has been filed in this matter.
