Legal Question in Wills and Trusts in California

property under $100,000

My father passed away and did not have a will. He has a piece of property in California that was 10,000 when he purchased it. I am his next of kin (daughter). Where do I go from here will it have to go through probate or can I fill out the proper paperwork after the 40th day of his death?

Re: property under $100,000

It sounds like you are talking about real estate. If the date of death is under $100,000 then a Probate Code 13150 petition would be the right thing most likely. If you would like to hire a certified specialist in probate law please call me to discuss your case! -John
