How is Real Property Handled During Probate?

In California, real estate that was owned by the decedent individual must often go through probate to ensure it is handled appropriately according to the law.

Real estate owned by a deceased person can complicate the probate process because it is difficult to divide such significant assets fairly. The court will do its best to ensure that beneficiaries receive their inheritance according to the decedent’s wishes or according to California law, but this can sometimes create disputes and hardship among families. Rather than allowing these disputes to destroy family relationships, it is much better to hire a lawyer who can help resolve these matters early on.

What Issues Come with Real Estate in California Probate?

Many issues could arise when dealing with real estate during California probate, including:

  • Disputes over ownership of the property by beneficiaries
  • Disagreements over how and when to sell the property
  • Creditors laying claim on the property
  • Issues with taxes, including how the real estate affects the overall tax rate of the estate
  • Accusations of dishonesty or infidelity on the part of the executor

If your family is struggling with these issues or more, please contact a trusted probate real estate attorney for the assistance you need.

What is Probate Real Estate Litigation?

Litigation is the legal process of settling a dispute by taking the matter to court, where a judge can come to a fair, unbiased resolution. Both parties have the opportunity to defend their position using witness testimony, the input of experts, physical evidence, digital evidence, and so forth.

Probate real estate litigation is a bit different from traditional litigation because it revolves around inherited real property instead of other legal issues. While probate itself is a legal process, it isn’t necessarily a litigious one. There are many reasons heirs and beneficiaries may wish to litigate after the death of a loved one. When property is involved in the decedent’s estate, the most common dispute that leads to litigation is when more than one heir inherits the property. This may happen when the decedent intends for their heirs to split the value of the property. When the heirs can’t agree on the best way to go about the fair division of the value of the home, such as a buy-out agreement or the joint decision to sell the property and split the profits, disputes may arise, and the only way to resolve them may be through legal channels.

Arguments may also arise over the will itself. This may be in the form of allegations of forgery or undue influence during the decedent’s estate planning. One or more heirs may wish to challenge the mental capacity of the decedent when drafting or updating a will. Sometimes, disputes arise because the executor breaches their fiduciary duty to act in the beneficiaries’ best interests. For example, they choose to sell the property to themselves below market value, which is like stealing wealth from the beneficiaries.

It is difficult for multiple parties to share or benefit from a piece of property. This is usually remedied by selling the property and sharing the proceeds. If one party wishes to keep the property, they will need to work out a plan that benefits the parties who aren’t gaining anything from it, usually in the form of a buyout.

When disputes lead to probate litigation it will almost assuredly delay the probate process. Delays in probate become expensive, especially when one or more heirs are relying on the assets of the decedent’s estate to live. Do you need help settling a dispute during probate?
