Probate
Hello! This question for all the probate experts out there. So I've accumulated a stack of recent Notices of Administration with the name of the deceased and the petitioner's attorney's name and address. I know that it is best if I can determine if the estate has real property; unfortunately, my county tax assessor's office does not allow me to pull up property/tax information using the owner's name. I can only do so using the property address and/or APN.
Do you encounter this problem in your area, and if so, how do you go about finding out if the deceased owned any real property? And if your approach is go to the court to pull the files, which document do you look for to see if the estate has real property?
Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!
