[CA] Why am I being told to go through probate for my parents’ estate when it qualifies for a small estate affidavit?

My parents' estate is valued at less than $184,500.00 and thus qualifies for an "Affidavit for Collection of Personal Property" in the state of California where my mother died (who survived my dad) and where I live. There are two different retirement accounts (one was my dad's and one was my mom's) that together are worth around $100,000. Neither account has a named beneficiary, but I am listed in each of their living trusts as an heir. Both companies are insisting that I have to go to probate in order to receive the funds. The ACP clearly states that they are to release the funds and will be held harmless from any liability if they release in good faith, and they have no duty to inquire as to the veracity of the statements in the Affidavit. It also says that they will be responsible for any attorney's fees that I might incur because they don't honor the Affidavit. I'm getting nowhere with them. Any thoughts and/or suggestions?

[CA] I was defrauded by my realtor when I purchased my house five years ago. Can I take legal action despite the statute of limitations?

I was defrauded by my realtor who held no inspection. I moved in to no working shower. I became ill, but pushed through a complaint with DRE, which did zero. Lawyer sees solid case, but statute of limitations. Is there recourse? I am a disabled senior.

[CA] How do I handle a tenant turned squatter?

I own a house in a popular beach town in Southern California via a trust. Started rehabbing the house to provide family income. I hired an unlicensed contractor to do some work. I grew up with him, and he was going through some hard times. I let him stay there while the house was being worked on, and he agreed to pay rent. He ended up being completely unreliable. Sent rent late, partial payments, or did not pay at all. Promised to do work in exchange for rent, which was not always completed. City started sending me code enforcement issues over incomplete permits and a lack of a certificate of occupancy. He wanted to move his kids in which I denied because of permits and lack of c.o, said he will squat. I fired him from any and all work and am in talks with a licensed contractor to finish the house and close out the permits. Unlicensed contractor squatter wants a 2-year lease or an absurd payout of 30-40k. I paid him for all jobs he bid on in full, and the work was not finished as described.
