Legal Question in Wills and Trusts in California

My wife's mother just died. The total estate after sale, and payment of a reversed mortgage note is less than $50K, maybe around $20K. The attorney that holds the will told us the estate is too small for most lawyers to probate the estate.

He is willing to make my wife the executor to distribute what ever funds are left after sale of house.

What is the easiest way to set this up. I understand there is a quick process to do this.

Thanks
