A: I understand you're dealing with a complex situation involving potentially fraudulent property deeds and probate issues. This is a serious matter that requires professional legal assistance. Here's a summary of the key points and some general advice:

Key points:

1. You believe fraudulent title deeds have been recorded with the Los Angeles County Assessor's Office.

2. There are conflicting probate filings for different estates.

3. Some relatives have been appointed as administrators by the court.

4. Other relatives may have filed fraudulent documents to manipulate property titles.

General advice:

1. Document everything: Gather all relevant documents, including deed numbers, court filings, and correspondence.

2. Seek legal counsel: This situation is too complex for general advice. You need a lawyer specializing in probate and real estate law in California.

3. Consider reporting fraud: If you have evidence of fraud, consult with your lawyer about reporting it to the appropriate authorities.

4. Don't take action without legal advice: Attempting to remove administrators or change property records without proper legal procedures could complicate matters further.

5. Be prepared for a potentially lengthy legal process: Resolving complex probate and property disputes often takes time.

Remember, only a qualified attorney who can review all the details of your case can provide specific legal advice. They can help you navigate the legal system and take appropriate actions to protect your interests.

A: Thank you for your question!

It seems that some relatives added their names to your title. You need quiet title action based on fraud to remove them from your property and stop them from doing so again in the future. Your title is unmarketable now, and you will have a problem selling the property. You need a real estate attorney to clean your title.

This is merely a discussion of general laws and not legal advice. For legal advice, more specific facts and investigations are needed. I recommend you consult with an attorney for more details.
