<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Book Antiqua",serif">I have a new probate, not opened yet, where husband predeceased wife several years ago. Now, wife has died but there was no community property agreement and husband is still
on title on the house. I know some people use a lack of probate affidavit, but I question whether that passes good title. PR of wife’s estate intends to sell the house.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

not open two probates just to transfer things to wife’s estate.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
