This must be a very difficult time for you and it can be a very daunting task to take on. I would really suggest that you consult with an attorney. But the California Courts give a great overview of the process. Copy and past this link:

And here are the forms:

I would go to your local county Probate Court and ask for a packet if they have it. Many do. Good luck.
