California Probate Code · 2026-10 edition · updated 2026-10-04 · California
Except as provided in Section 10361, the holder of a mortgage or other lien on property in the decedent’s estate, including, but not limited to, a judgment lien, may commence an action to enforce the lien against the property that is subject to the lien, without first filing a claim as provided in this part, if in the complaint the holder of the lien expressly waives all recourse against other property in the estate. Section 366.2 of the Code of Civil Procedure does not apply to an action under this section. The personal representative shall have the authority to seek to enjoin any action of the lienholder to enforce a lien against property that is subject to the lien.
(Amended by Stats. 1996, Ch. 862, Sec. 25. Effective January 1, 1997.)
