Out-of-State Property and Probate (Ancillary Probate)

Alisya Clayton • June 3, 2013

What happens when a California resident owns real estate outside of California? Or what happens when a resident of another state owns real estate that is located in California? Usually, there must be two or more probates. There must be an “ancillary probate.” Sometimes, (but not all the time) a probate will also be started in the state where the person lived. This is called a “domiciliary probate.” When a person who lived outside of California (a non California resident) and owned California real estate then passes away, you need a California probate attorney to represent the out-of-state family and to work together with an attorney to administer the ancillary probate in California.
