Changes To California's Probate Code
Beginning April 1, 2025, a primary residence valued up to $750,000 is now available for a simplified probate procedure as an alternative to formal probate if there are no other properties to probate ano cash or liquid assets are minimal.
It’s important to note that the simplified process for transferring a primary residence valued under $750,000 does not eliminate the need for comprehensive estate planning tools like wills and trusts, which address the transfer of all other assets and provide for various other estate planning considerations.
