Probate and inherited houses
A West Covina house left by someone who died without a trust is probated in the Los Angeles County Superior Court. Under independent administration the executor can usually sell after a notice of proposed action; a sale with court confirmation lets other buyers overbid at the hearing.

West Covina foreclosures are generally trustee's sales under a deed of trust. The recorded notice of default starts the clock, the trustee later sets an auction date, and the owner can still sell or pay off before that date. You own the house until the sale, so you can usually still sell.
More on behind on the mortgage →Behind on property taxes
Delinquent taxes on a West Covina house are owed to the Los Angeles County Treasurer and Tax Collector; property in default long enough can be sold at the county's tax auction unless the owner redeems first.

The City of West Covina's code enforcement team handles complaints about property maintenance, overgrown yards, inoperable vehicles and work done without permits.

Landlords removing a West Covina tenant file an unlawful detainer action in the Superior Court of California, County of Los Angeles. You can sell with tenants in place — paying, behind, or mid-eviction.

Selling for cash in West Covina: questions
My West Covina house is on a hillside and the retaining wall is cracked. Will a cash buyer still make an offer?
Usually, yes. South Hills investors are used to slope and drainage work. Tell them what you've seen, and the offer will account for the repair instead of asking you to make it.
How fast can I sell my house for cash in West Covina?
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.
