Questions about probate procedures

[Kenny Han]

hi everyone, my name is Kenny. Last night I went to a property which is being foreclosed, NOD was filed last month, the owner Loretta passed way yesterday morning and didn't leave a living trust to anyone, Loretta is the only one on the title, her daughter is currently living in the house, can her daughter still sell the house under Loretta's name? What are the procedures?

@Kenny Han sorry to say, "No."  This property NOT titled under a living trust will need to go to probate.  I always like to double check that is the fact, so you can contract a title company and have them pull the documents for you.  Maybe she added someone else on title before she passed.  I would investigate.
