I am so sorry for your loss. I am unclear about where in the probate process you are here. Have you already had a hearing set and has the Judge approved the final distribution? Have you paid all estate taxes? I am going to give you two links to two separate county courts in California that should help. The clerks in your county may have information to help as well. Good luck.
