On August 14, 2024, my office filed a petition to approve the sale of a house in a probate estate. The sale cannot proceed until we get court approval.
Which will be a long time coming, because the assigned hearing date is December 11, 2024. That’s a four-month delay. Most buyers won’t wait that long, so its a major problem for Fresno probate cases.
We are now one of the slowest probate courts in the Valley. It used to be Kern County, but the Fresno probate department has taken the thorny crown.
