Q: How can I get my nephews to go through probate. I keep asking them to do it but they keep dragging.want to sell house
My 2 nephews are the other half owner of my fathers house due to my brother passing. Brother left no will. After our father passed the house went into probate where I was half owner and my brother was the other half owner. My brother passed a year ago without a will so i understand his 2 kids are the other half owners now. They both are refusing to go through probate of there half. I want to sell the house.
Is there any way I can make them go through probate so we can hurry this process up?
A: Do it yourself. If the property is in CA and you're out of state, hire a CA probate attorney. He or she can serve as your local agent, if you're an adult that is not disqualified. Jump through the hoops, sell the house and divvy up the proceeds. Take your documents and talk to an experienced probate lawyer and they'll let you know your rights and remedies. Many offer free initial consultations. Good luck to you.
