Will on unsigned will

An unsigned Will is not valid.  Property will pass to the heirs at law, not to the state.

Your situation is not entirely clear. Is your property titled in the trust or not? If not, then probate WILL be necessary. A PR is only appointed in a probate proceeding, so unless an estate has been opened, there is no PR. At most, your sister is nominated to be the PR. She has no authority to execute a deed, if that is your situation. If probate is needed and she refuses to act, you can always open an estate yourself, and request that you be appointed PR. If the property is titled in the trust, then you do not need a PR. The trustee would have authority to sign a deed to you. If the trustee fails to do so, then you can again go to the probate court, this time to petition for supervision of the trust or removal of the trustee and a surcharge for breach of fiduciary duties. Since it is unclear what your facts are, it may be wise to retain an attorney to review the situation with you.

How can I put my mother's home in my name now that she has past?

Estate Planning lawyer at Douglass Law Group
Unfortunately, without a Will or Trust in which your mom specifically left her home to you, the house will have to go through probate where the judge will make the determination who gets her property based on the laws in the State of California. If she had no surviving husband, then the property will go in equal shares to all four of her children.
