In California, completing probate takes at least 9 months for a simple estate, and can be much longer. The total value of an estate can play a role in determining if probate is required. As of 2023 in California, this threshold is $184,500.
Real or personal property that the person who died owned with someone else (joint tenancy) Property (community, quasi-community, or separate) that passed directly to the surviving spouse or domestic partner. Life insurance, death benefits or other assets not subject to probate that pass directly to the beneficiaries.
For example, if a decedent died after April 2022, and their estate is valued at less than the California probate minimum of $184,500, their heirs may be able to use a simplified procedure known as a small estate affidavit to transfer the decedents property.
All of the property legally owned by the deceased person is called the persons estate.
California law says the personal representative must complete probate within one year from the date of appointment, unless s/he files a federal estate tax. In this case, the personal representative can have 18 months to complete probate.
