Simply put, probate is a legal process to administer the will of someone who has died. It allows the transfer of assets to the decedent’s heirs. If someone dies without a will, AKA intestate, typically a family member or someone close to the person must petition the probate court to be appointed administrator of the estate. Once appointed, the administrator liquidates the estate under the supervision of the court.
Probate takes place in the county where the decedent’s property is located. The Greenwald Realty Team are certified to manage probate real estate throughout San Diego County. Get in touch with us today to leverage our experience and expertise for your probate situation. We are always here to help!

“As a prelude to helping my elderly, unmarried aunt who has memory issues prepare to sell her longtime family home, I realized the title might be in her deceased father’s name. I did not know how to remedy what could be a complicated and costly probate situation. The team at GRT were empathetic, helpful and so knowledgeable. After just one conversation with them, I had greater peace of mind and a path forward. I am very grateful for their expertise and compassion.”

“As trustee and one of nine beneficiaries, I needed to sell the Clairemont family home from my own home base in the Bay Area. I had interviewed Ron, who was recommended to me by a trust administrator law firm, before having some prospective purchases go south, including an agent who tried to lower the agreed-upon price substantially once we entered escrow. I cancelled that contract and went back to Ron. Instead of a scam, I got a reliable buyer and a smooth transaction at a fair price.”
