Legal Question in Wills and Trusts in California

What is your relationship to the grandparents? Are you a grandchild? Is there a will? Where is the property? Joint tenancy affects title between them but unless you or someone other than they were a joint tenant, usually there will need to be a probate of the property.

If you were a surviving joint tenant, you would not have to go through probate. You would just record an affidavit of death of joint tenant for them.

If they were the only ones who were joint tenants, and both are dead, then you are going to have to go through probate. You are going to need to gather relevant documents, such as wills, trusts, documents evidencing title, and take them to a probate attorney.
