@Richelle T. Go on down to your local county government office and pull the death certificate's for both the aunt (decedent) and her nephew. If she did leave the property to her nephew also check for a will.

Whom ever filed both certificates will be the next of kin depending what is stated in the will. (cousin, sister, ex-spouse, etc..)

And try the water department, building code enforcement officer.. (abatement dept)

 Meet-up next month January 15th organized by Al Williamson.

See you there??

@Ronald Perich  Works fine. Just testing..

********Almost 10% of the properties in the MLS are because someone passed away.******

If will states "With or Without Notice" PR with "Full Authority" under IAEA has option not to place property on MLS..(CA Probate code 10503)

@James Peoples What's going buddy? What do you need assistance with? Marketing problems?? A meet-up is coming up next month.

If you want every Tuesday @1:30 in Dept. 40 (2nd flr) at the Placer courthouse, I'm usually there to sit in and listen to the probate/trust hearings. Another way for me to market to attorney's.

Let me know if you want to join me as well as researching new and existing probate/trust files.

I may need help researching Sac probate files.

You have my number...

Regards,

Mark..

@Gina Gee  

Welcome and look for the link I sent you earlier in your quest for probate's in Los Angeles county.

Any problems with the link do not hesitate in asking for help.

Warm regards...

@Uyenchi Ho  I'm assuming you collected/gathered your "Notice of Petition to Administer Estate" list's using The San Jose Post-Record. (Adjudicated Legal Newspaper)

For the month of November, there's 10 new filings and 2 past pending sales.

Yes, as Mr. Metsker suggested, your going to have to contact a local title company and open a property profile account to research what you currently have.

When you go to the court house to pull files, the document your looking for is "Petition For Probate" (DE-111).

This will give you "Estate Of (decedents name)" Here you'll cross reference the decedents name and verify he/she had real property. Sort of "scrubbing" your list(s) to check for real estate.

Hope this helps..

@Peter Chu  Try Gary Link. http://www.teamlink.com/

He has spoken at the local REIA's here as well as The Learning Exchange on Howe Ave in Sacramento.

I've never used him (yet) but I've heard him speak and he's very informative.

 Ditto..

Sorry I'm posting this late.

@Kong Xiong  Yes this is something anyone can do and there is no price for public info (probate files) at the county court house.

The first case heard (probate), decedent has 34 creditor claims filed against estate. The most recent in August 2014. Petitioner has filed rejections for approximately 25 of those claims, commencing a 90-day period in which claimants may elect to file suit against estate. Decedent has a SFR, 1606 Shamrock Ct. Lincoln, CA.

@Pat McGrath This is in your backyard BUT not worth pursuing.

b) Estate of Rivera - Missing service to Lidia Rivera (ex) Service to counsel alone is insufficient. Prob.C 1214. It is recommended the petition be denied. The petition does not identify property to which title or possession is in dispute; rather the petition appears  to describe a civil claim for damages under one or more tort theories.

Estate administration was required to close in December 2012. Administrator has failed to file no report, account, or request to continue administration. Property is located in Carnelian Bay, CA

c) Trust of Wheeler - Trust has 15 properties - Competing trustee's - big mess - Missing service of notice of hearing to City of Colfax - (Trust has the 15 properties in Colfax) Note; Prob.C. 21350-21356 were repealed effective January 1, 2014. Because of the large number of person's entitled to notice of these proceedings, the court will determine any continuance request(s) at the time of the hearing(s). This hearing continued to December 2, 2014.

d) Estate of Reyes - Daniel Reyes (sibling) as in Pro-Per -Inventory and appraisal omits any personal property. In pro-per satisfied missing request. Judge granted Petition to Real Estate. Property is located at 306 K St. Lincoln CA. 

e) Estate of Siragusa - Donna Andrews (in pro-per) Missing typewritten transcript of written will. Clarification is needed; petitioner must clarify whether will is offered as holographic instrument or executed/witnessed will. Proof of will in either case.

Petitioner satisfied issues. Judge granted Full Authority based IAEA. Order for Probate and Letters of Administration issued while judge by law had to read the motion.

Property is located at 6154 S. Walnut St. Spc 38 Loomis, CA (mobile home)

f) Estate of Grandjean - Missing notice of hearing - Petitioner served only form DE-120 ( and possibly a summons) Missing proof of publication. Petitioner caused a summons to be published in error. Case continued until December 30, 2014. Property located at 3060 Cedarwood Way, Tahoe City, CA

g) Trust of Roach - Appearance is required for hearing on trust and account petition.

Trust has 17 properties (15 on one street) At hearing, petition pending to remove Trustee from Trust per competing attorney representing beneficiary's. Lead attorney claims there have been threats on trustee. Competing attorney denies claim. Lead attorney wants to move forward to "Final Distribution". Lead attorney waiting for "closing order" from I.R.S.

Trust is worth $4.5 million ( going to have pull file on this one).

The attorney's representing these clients also represent new clients (Notice to Administer Estate) and existing (past clients) and as I research probate files, I notice certain attorney's name keep coming up. These are also the attorney's that i would like to work with.

My goal is to market to these attorney's with CMA's, discuss my experience as an heir and to offer my services as real estate agent (pending) with Final Distribution.

@Vince Beusan Good speaking with you the other night. Remember Rick Harmon is in your back yard.

Pat McGrath, every Tuesday at 1:30pm, if you care to join me at Placer courthouse.

@Jeff Jamieson Yes lot's of good info.

Rick, your correct. No special privileges at the courthouse. Every one including myself, stood for the Pledge of Allegiance.
