Ancillary Probate:
Real Estate must always be probated in the state in which it exists. The main probate takes place in the state where the person died. However, if a person owns real estate in a state other than their residence state, there will have to be an ancillary probate of the real estate in that other state. Timeshares are real estate. Ancillary probate of timeshares is a very common form of ancillary probate as people usually don't own a timeshare where they live. See Timeshare Probate. Of course, some people have homes or other non-timeshare real estate in more than one state. Let's say a California resident has a second home in Las Vegas. Therefore, the main probate would be in a California but there would be an ancillary probate in Nevada of the second home in Las Vegas.
The expense and time involved in an ancillary probate is about the same as that involved in the main probate. For fees and costs of an ancillary probate see Probate. The documents needed for Ancillary Probate regardless of the value of the real estate are the same as those listed in Timeshare Probate.
