Common situations in Los Angeles County
How each one works locally — and why a cash sale can help. General information, not legal advice.
Probate and inherited houses
Palmdale estates are part of the Los Angeles County Superior Court's probate caseload, one of the busiest in the state, so an estate can take a while to reach the point where the representative is authorized to sell.
More on probate and inherited houses →Behind on the mortgage
Palmdale mortgage foreclosures are usually non-judicial trustee's sales; the notices are recorded with the Los Angeles County Registrar-Recorder/County Clerk, which gives a seller a window to sell before the auction date. You own the house until the sale, so you can usually still sell.
More on behind on the mortgage →Behind on property taxes
The Los Angeles County Treasurer and Tax Collector bills and collects property taxes on Palmdale houses, and a house that stays in tax default long enough can be offered at the county's tax-defaulted property sale.
More on behind on property taxes →Code violations and city orders
The City of Palmdale's code enforcement handles vacant and abandoned houses, overgrown or trash-filled lots and other property-maintenance complaints.
More on code violations and city orders →Tired of being a landlord
Evictions for Palmdale rentals are unlawful detainer cases in the Los Angeles County Superior Court, which has its Antelope Valley Courthouse in nearby Lancaster. You can sell with tenants in place — paying, behind, or mid-eviction.

Selling for cash in Palmdale: questions
I got a notice of default on my Palmdale house. Is it too late to sell?
Usually not. A notice of default starts the process; the trustee's sale comes later. A cash sale that closes before the auction pays off the loan and lets you keep any equity left over. Share the notices with the buyer so the closing can be scheduled around the dates.
How fast can I sell my house for cash in Palmdale?
California sales close through an escrow company, with a title company insuring the title; escrow pays off the loan and any liens before you're paid. Once you accept an offer, most Los Angeles County cash sales close in one to three weeks — sooner if there's no estate or lien paperwork to clear, or later on a date you choose.
