Legal Question in Wills and Trusts in California

Re: probate

Was their a Will, if not who are survivors?

Re: probate

I am sorry to hear of your father's passing. To answer your question: It depends on how much money and how it is being held. If the total value of all of your father's assets was under $100,000 then you can avoid probate and there are forms that you can do for the quick transfer.

However, if the total value of all asssets was over $100,000 (this includes a home despite the amount still owed) and there is no trust instrument, then you will need to open a probate and get Letters Testamentary to access the accounts.

It can get complicated.

If your father's estate is under $ 100,000 and you are his heir then you may obtain title to his property via declaration and certified death certificate. Contact me directly.
