Small Estate Procedures in California
California law provides simplified procedures for certain estates that fall below specified value thresholds.
These procedures may allow heirs to collect assets using a small estate affidavit or other simplified process.
In some cases involving real estate, special court procedures may also be available.
Eligibility depends on the type and value of assets involved.
