More details to this question:
My wife is going through probate for her mothers estate, and the paralegal says my wife can not be bonded, so the paralegal says she will be the administrator to the estate. Is my wife giving up all her rights to the estate?

Ask a local CA lawyer. I practice in PA. Generally, she only gives up the right to be administrator and not rights to be an heir. However, in most states, the administrator can charge a fee for his work. In my state, that fee is 5% of the value of the gross assets.
