Stockton, CA asked in Probate for California

Q: How do i go about transferring real property to my name if the person is deceased with no will ?

My grandmother passed away four years ago with no will, executor, I have been residing in the home she bought and where I grew up due to financial hardship and unexpected family problems the property is currently is in pre-foreclosure and I am working hard with the loan provider the bank has been giving me the run around delaying mailing documents or sending me wrong documents that they wont explain . So i was told i must have court documents stating i have full access as administrator letters and other things. Please help because my grandmother worked very hard to purchase this home it means so much to me. I dont know what I will do or go if this foreclosure succeeds. And I cant afford an attorney

A: A lot of times there are attorneys who will front the costs of probate. It really depends on the facts of the case. Also there are ways to get a fee waiver in probate court. Doing probate without an attorney can be risky because if you mess up you will be delayed. You could lose the house to foreclosure during a delay. Call my office. Maybe we can help.
