sold house title cloud/probate
california
hi, recently sold my house before closing we found out that
my mortgage co. recorded the deed wrong, what happen was
my mom passed away about 1yr ago i refinaced and paid for her
funiral. when i did that the mortgage co. told me to bring a
death certificate and that they would file affidavit-death of
joint tenant to clear her name from title,problem is that we
did not hold title as joint tenents so half of the house has to be
probated and there is no will, i'am sure that family members will
fight over everything and probate will take long and cost a lot.
i have not started probate yet but my agent(also buyers agent)
is pushing me to get a lawyer and start probate but i'd
rather clear probate matters first,iam sure my agent only cares
about his commission and nothing more. closing has already passed
what will happen and what can i do?
thanks
