Probate real estate involves selling property that is part of a deceased person's estate. In Orange County, California, the process typically involves filing with the Orange County Superior Court, getting the property appraised, listing it for sale, and potentially going through court confirmation depending on the type of administration. A CPRES-certified specialist like Paula Aragone can guide you through each step.

Yes. We specialize in divorce real estate across Orange County, acting as a neutral party to help both spouses achieve the best possible outcome on their property sale or division. With a law school background and experience in high-conflict situations, we bring the legal precision that divorce real estate requires.

The timeline varies greatly depending on court requirements. Under the Independent Administration of Estates Act (IAEA) with full authority, it can be as fast as a traditional sale (30-60 days). If limited authority or full court confirmation is required, the process typically takes 3 to 6 months or longer.
