Los Angeles courthouse — Stanley Mosk probate practice

Attorneys, on the record.

“Automatic Pilot: I am very busy with my law practice, so for this probate sale, I made sure to pick a broker who could handle the entire sales process from beginning to end. That is what I got with Bill. He was always there to do what was necessary, and what was requested of him. In addition, his vast experience and knowledge made it much easier on all involved with the sale.”

— Dave Schechet, Probate Attorney, Los Angeles

“Bill’s got a plan of action… and what he says works. I met Bill at the courthouse when he was doing his networking… my client was very happy with his services. We were facing an inevitable foreclosure, and he came in and rescued that case.”

— Attorney Mina Sirkin, Sirkin Law

“Bill really knows probate… he really tracks all the data. For an attorney that does one probate a year, you can be sure that attorney is not going to be up to par to move your transaction as opposed to someone who does a lot of them like you.”

— Attorney Paul Horn, Paul Horn Law Firm & C.A.R. Course Instructor

Common probate real estate questions

Straight answers families and attorneys ask before a listing. For California self-help probate basics, see the California Courts probate self-help guide and the Judicial Council probate resources.

How long does probate take in Los Angeles?

In Los Angeles County, a routine probate often runs many months from petition to distribution. Timelines vary with court calendars, contests, creditor claims, and whether real property needs court confirmation. A specialist broker cannot shorten the court’s schedule, but can keep the sale path ready when authority to sell exists. Read more →

Can an executor sell a house before probate is complete?

Often yes, once the personal representative has Letters and authority to sell—under IAEA powers or with court confirmation when required. Selling before the entire probate is closed is common; selling without proper authority is not. Confirm with the estate attorney before marketing. Read more →

What is a court-confirmed sale?

A court-confirmed sale is a probate sale presented to the Superior Court for confirmation—often at Stanley Mosk in Los Angeles—with possible overbids in open court. Agreements should be written for the Probate Code. Read more →

What happens if there is a reverse mortgage on the house?

When a reverse mortgage borrower dies or leaves the home, the loan typically becomes due and payable. Heirs face a deadline to repay, refinance, or sell. Do not ignore lender notices. Read more → · Reverse Mortgage SOS →

What is a probate referee?

A probate referee is a court-appointed appraiser who values estate assets for the inventory. Bill Gross is a real estate broker (DRE #01022275). He is not a Probate Referee and does not perform probate appraisals.
