Legal Question in Wills and Trusts in California

I doubt you can Petition to include the condo in the Trust, but an attorney reading the trust might be able to find a way to to do this, which would be faster and cheaper than a Probate Petition. Otherwise, you are looking at a Petition to Determine Successor to Real Estate, which is an expedited Probate proceeding available where the value is under $150,000, which appears to be the case here.

Aaron Feldman's answer is good advice. Probate legal counsel should be engaged to assist you in this matter.

I am sorry for your loss.

I agree with Attorney Feldman. A Petition to Determine Successor to Real Property is probably the best course of action. Assuming that your mother died a resident of California, and because the real property is located in California, it may be possible to file a Heggstad Petition in Probate Court to establish your mother's intention that the property be part of her trust. However such a Petition would be more costly than the Petition to Determine Succession and proving your mother's intent may be difficult.
