Hire a competent AR attorney to search the title, then draft an Affidavit of Heirship and a Quit Claim Deed. Do not try to do this yourself.

No.. The will contest always has to be at the Probate Court that accepted the document as the Will, in this case CA.
We are now working to settle. Since 10 years has now passed on the Judgment and it has not been renewed can they still collect even though it is expired ? Or does them making a timely claim overrule?

Making the timely claim should perfect their lien and estate claim. However you can object to the claim on the SOL ground, and it is up to the claimant to convince the Court otherwise. You will need an AR attorney to argue the contested claim.

Administrator can value Estate assets. An appraiser's value is just his opinion. If the Probate Judge does not like it, he will let him know, and then regular Probate will be required.

What does the State have to do with it? Search the title and start asking around about who his heirs and next of kin is. They are the owners at his death unless he had a probated Will.
In the 1960s my grandparents purchased a lot alongside a highway in Arkansas. My Mother inherited this lot and wants to be able to sell it.
