FAQ
A: In California, the timeframe for transferring property after death can vary depending on several factors, such as whether the estate goes through probate, utilizes a trust, or qualifies for a simple transfer process. Generally, the process can take between 7 months and 12 months from the time the petition is filed.

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.
