My mother and father have past away and left me and my sisters some land. One of my sisters has also past away leaving no will. We need to sell the property and need to know what steps need to be done.
Thanks for any help.
Answer
Where did mom and dad live? If in California then some level of probate procedure is required. A lot depends on the value of the land and if there are other assets. For example, if under $150,000 in value then a summary probate procedure can possibly be used. I encourage you to find an experienced probate attorney to assist. My firm handles probates throughout California.
