Legal Question in Wills and Trusts in California
do i have to go to probate court with a valid will?

If there is no will then the estate will be probated as intestate-meaning no will, then the heirs according to law will get the property. Contact me directly.
Unless the decedent had a trust and his or her property was already in the trust you will have to have some type of Court proceeding in order to deal with their property.
