Legal Question in Wills and Trusts in California
I am a beneficiary of a Californian estate for which the final accounts have been filed with the courts by the executor. The final court hearing was on 1st July 2011 and the petition was granted. Despite this the executor has not distributed the funds and does not respond to my emails or phone calls (I live in Great Britain so I cannot call at his office).
1. Is there a point where the delay becomes unlawful, if so what can I do?
2. Should I be getting interest on the money during this delay? The estate is worth about $4m?

It is possible that the estate should have already been dispersed. I cannot tell you without knowing more about the estate.
The interest will be dependent on what type of property resides in the estate. We may very well want to file to request a current accounting. Please contact my office at your convenience.
