Legal Question in Wills and Trusts in California

Nominating a personal representative in ancillary probate matter

Client is personal representative of decedent's estate in state outside CA. Decedent has real property in CA. Named PR wants to nominate local CA resident as PR in ancillary probate matter. Will gives named PR that authority. CA probate code allows for this. What are the pleading requirements etc. for nominating another PR for ancillary probate in CA? Thank you!

Re: Nominating a personal representative in ancillary probate matter

I just finished a probate case where an Alabama resident owned real property here in California. You have to file a petition for probate, and there are some other special documents that need to be filed relating to the ancillary probate in the other state. Basically, the California court must respect the decisions of the sister state court. It is really too complicated to go into much further detail here, but if you would like to contact me, feel free to do so.
