For the State of California
Generally, if your parents passed away without a will, trust, or other provisions for the distribution their property in California then the California law will determine how and who gets the property based on their relationship with the owner. In California the closer in relation you are to the homeowner the more likely your ability to inherit their home. California Law resource https://oag.ca.gov/consumers/general/estate-finance
