@Joshua Fair Here in Placer/Sacramento counties, I view the probate calendar notes and the reason why the probate file(s) is being delayed.

Some example's ; Appearance is required for continued hearing, Missing notice to heir's (who have an interest in property) Petitioner requests probate hearing to be continued in 2-3 or 4 additional months, competing probate files ( different case file number's for same decedant), court recommending probate matter dropped from calendar, missing information about home sale. etc; etc; etc;

Joshua keep us posted

Mark...

Missed the meet-up (birthday) How did it go?? Any chance of having the next one during the week?? Round Table has meeting rooms as well as Denny's. Just a couple of suggestions...

@Danny Chan What's your business address? - so I that I can QC your mail receiving in-box...or better yet Petco Park...

@Brian Kirk In Northern CA (Sacramento county) there's a legal newspaper (The Daily Journal) which publishes "Notice to Repair or Demolish Substandard/Dangerous Buildings" or abatement properties. Ask your clerk if the county publishes "problem properties". Google "adjudicated newspaper" for your area or check your local law library for a/any publication(s). I'm assuming Atlanta is a big area so the county should have something legally published..

@Viet Nguyen probate does not stop a/any trustee sale. If you cure trustee process, decedents "children" (I would) probably would file an Amended Petition to Administer Estate or Request for Special Notice despite what the holographic will state's. If they do, buy out their interest's

Or you can pull the trigger and walk away

@Dylan Grieve - consider also that the heir's are dealing with the dynamic's involved in probate as well as the mixed emotions -

Good Luck

Welcome Erik,

2nd BP meet-up is next month. 1st one was this past Oct..

In the BP resources fileplace for probate introduction letter "This allows you to sell the home outside most of the Probate Court’s “red tape” and proceed forward to the final distribution." should be added. In CA " final distribution." is a court order that closes a probate file - if all family members agree on the price (Notice of Proposed Action). All n all good letter as a starting point - run with it and see what happens.
