Assuming your father died with assets of at least $150,000.00 in California, and this was the state of his residence, a petition for probate would be filed in the county of his last known residence, and you should seek the assistance of a probate lawyer to handle the matter, and who are paid out of the assets of the estate.

When you become an administrator of an estate, how do you know your duties?

Estate Planning lawyer at Austin Hirschhorn, P.C.
The probate court has information available about your duties. You should contact one of the representatives at the court that appointed you and ask them for an instruction sheet. If they don't have one available they should be able to direct you how to get the information you need.

What happens when one person named in a will passes away & the spouse takes property given to 4 other people in the will?

For a will to have effect on real property ownership in Texas, the will must be presented to a Texas probate court and probated in some fashion. No one is required to probate a will. If you have an original will to probate, you can offer it within 4 years of the death of your grandfather. After 4 years it might be admitted as a muniment of title, but formal administration is not an option. If your mother was your grandfather's only heir (heirs are determined by law , beneficiaries are designated in a will) and no will was presented for probate, full title of the property would pass to your mother. Your mother's interest in the property could have transfered in full to your father at her death. If you and your siblings want to sell the property, I'd make sure you have some ownership in it first.
