My wives nephew was strung out on drugs and squatted in her mobile home for year. He was not paying any rent and trying to sublease the home. It had major damage everywhere, top to bottom. I found several investors but Nobody wanted to deal with evicting the tenant. I found Darren online. He got the deal done and closed in 3 weeks

⚖️Probate in California: The Basics

Probate is the court-supervised process of administering a deceased person’s estate.

In California, probate may be required if:

  • The person died owning real estate in their name alone
  • The total estate value exceeds California’s small-estate threshold
  • There is no living trust or automatic transfer mechanism

Probate typically involves:

  • Filing a petition with the court
  • Appointment of an executor or administrator
  • Notice to heirs and creditors
  • Inventory and appraisal of assets
  • Payment of debts and expenses
  • Distribution of remaining assets

Each county (including Sacramento and Placer) has its own procedures, timelines, and court backlogs.


⚖️Probate vs Living Trust (Important Distinction)

Many families are unsure whether probate is required.

Probate is usually required if:

  • The property was owned solely in the decedent’s name
  • There is no trust
  • There is no transfer-on-death deed
  • There is no joint tenancy survivor

Probate may NOT be required if:

  • The home was held in a living trust
  • The property passed via joint tenancy
  • A beneficiary deed was recorded
  • The estate qualifies for a small estate affidavit

A probate attorney can confirm this quickly and accurately.

What Happens to a House During Probate?

A house in probate can:

  • Be kept by heirs
  • Be rented temporarily
  • Be sold during probate
  • Be sold after probate closes

In many cases, selling the property is the most practical option — especially when:

  • Heirs live out of the area
  • The house needs repairs
  • There are multiple beneficiaries
  • The estate needs liquidity
  • The property is vacant or distressed

California law does allow probate properties to be sold, but the process must be handled correctly.


Can You Sell a House During Probate in California?

Yes — in most cases, a probate property can be sold during probate, with court oversight depending on the authority granted.

Two common scenarios:

  1. Independent Administration of Estates Act (IAEA)
    • Allows sale with minimal court involvement
    • Faster and more flexible
  2. Full Authority Probate
    • Requires court confirmation of the sale
    • Longer timeline
    • Overbidding process may apply

A probate attorney determines which authority applies.


Common Probate Mistakes to Avoid

Many families unintentionally create delays or legal issues by:

  • Cleaning or selling property too early
  • Making verbal agreements between heirs
  • Paying debts incorrectly
  • Listing a property before legal authority is granted
  • Choosing buyers unfamiliar with probate rules
  • Ignoring tax implications

This is why legal screening first is critical.


Inherited Property Challenges We Commonly See

Inherited homes often come with complications, such as:

  • Deferred maintenance
  • Hoarding or clutter
  • Outdated systems
  • Tenant-occupied properties
  • Code violations
  • Liens or back taxes
  • Family disagreements
  • Emotional attachment

These factors can make traditional real estate sales difficult — especially during probate.

Selling an Inherited or Probate Home As-Is

For many estates, selling as-is is the simplest path forward.

This means:

  • No repairs
  • No cleaning
  • No staging
  • No showings
  • No buyer financing risk

This option is often ideal when the estate needs speed, certainty, and minimal stress.

Darren Paid For My Probate Attorney

I received a Postcard from Darren. Grandpa left me a home after he died. It needed lots of repairs and required going thru the probate process. I didn’t have the funds for it. We discovered an issue with title and he stuck with me through getting it fixed. Darren was the best, he took care of all of the expenses. He is very patient and willing to work through any issues. My brother lived in it, paid no rent, would not get a job either. The home needed a new roof and more. He closed in 2 weeks, fixed the roof and worked out some thing with my brother. He even went above and beyond. Fast forward my brother got a job, rented from Darren for a year. The next year Darren sold it back to him at a reasonable price
