Although full probate can be filed immediately, the smaller estate alternative proceedings require waiting from 40 days to 6 months before the heirs can file the proceedings.

On the other hand, probating larger estates is a more lengthy and complicated process. This article explains what you need to know to begin the probate process in California.
