Seller has confused me! PROBATE QUESTION

[Account Closed]

If seller petitioned for full authority, What would be the reason a judge would tell them that they have permission to sell? but have to have the home listed by Jan. 1st. ? would there be any changes during this process from FULL authority to LIMITED? Seller had called me and received authority to sell, but has no idea if its full or limited.. she is picking up the LETTER TESTMENTARY tomorrow to see the final decision she will have to make... I assume that since she petitioned she would be granted the FULL authority. but now im confused... hopefully this can be answered.

Does it matter what it's called?  It says "subject to court approval" and I know Nothing about Cali probate proceedings, but that seems "limited" to me.
