Legal Question in Wills and Trusts in California
My relative who is now deceased never probated her brothers real estate into her name. Now she is deceased. Does the law require the administrator/heir to her estate to open two separate probates or can they be consolidated into one.

Two separate probates are required.

It is likely two separate proceedings will be necessary. Are there wills? Is this transfer by intestacy? Obviously a careful review of title and other factors is essential to be certain there is no way to avoid the probate process.
