Q: Father passed away with no will, POA or beneficiaries. Assets are less than 150k. Only survivors were two daughters.
My father passed away in July 2020
He passed away with no will, no beneficiaries and no POA. His assets are less than 150,000. I’ve researched that this would be a small estate but want to make sure we don’t have to go to probate. My sister and I are the only surviving children and he had no spouse. His assets was a car and a manufactured home in which both are paid off. We want to just make sure that we don’t have to go to court to be able to sell the items and close his bank accounts that have maybe $10 in them.
A: No probate. Just do transfer without probate at DMV for car and similar forms at department of housing for manufactured home. Do those 40 days after death. No probate court. Good luck.
