A note from Erwin
“The families I meet aren’t looking for a flashy cash offer. They’re stuck: a house split between relatives, a probate case that won’t move, a tax bill nobody knew about. My job is to explain your options honestly. Sometimes that means buying, and sometimes it means pointing you somewhere else.”
Erwin MicianoFounder, SoCal Property Resolution

Questions

Frequently asked questions

Can I sell my share of an inherited house if my siblings don’t want to sell?

Often, yes. An heir can usually sell or assign their own ownership interest without selling the entire property. Details depend on how title is held and where the estate stands, so we recommend confirming with an attorney.

Do I have to wait until probate is finished to sell?

Not always. Homes can sometimes be sold during probate with the court’s or administrator’s authority, and some smaller estates may qualify for simplified procedures. Your probate attorney can confirm.

What is a small estate affidavit, and can it help me?

California allows certain smaller estates to transfer property through simplified procedures instead of full probate. Eligibility depends on value and other rules that change over time. Ask an attorney.

What happens if property taxes stay unpaid in LA County?

Penalties and interest add up, and after a period of default the county can sell the property at a tax auction. Acting early means more options. Confirm your status with the LA County Treasurer and Tax Collector.

What are excess proceeds, and can I claim them?

If a tax-defaulted property sells at auction for more than what was owed, former owners or other parties of interest may be able to claim the extra within a deadline. You can file with the county yourself.
