The California Heir's Roadmap
A full-length, plain-English guide to selling an inherited home in Los Angeles County — from the day you're appointed executor to the day escrow closes.
This book expands everything in the free guide into a complete resource: the LA County probate process from petition to closing, how to get the house ready to sell before the estate has any cash, with repairs and cleanout paid from the sale proceeds at closing instead of upfront, how to keep siblings on the same page, and twenty real stories from Los Angeles County families who navigated this exact process.
- Full walkthrough of independent administration (IAEA) vs. court confirmation
- The Concierge Pay-at-Close approach: how repairs and cleanout get paid from the sale at closing
- A dedicated chapter on keeping heirs aligned instead of in conflict
- Twenty real client stories from Los Angeles County estates
- Appendices with checklists you can use immediately

What's inside
The book is organized in four parts, moving in the same order a real Los Angeles County probate sale actually unfolds: understanding the court process and your authority as executor, stabilizing and protecting the property itself, managing family dynamics and fiduciary duty, and finally marketing and closing the sale. Front matter and appendices include checklists you can pull out and use on their own.
