Legal Question in Wills and Trusts in California

In order the heirs to receive their share of the Estate there has to be a Petition for Final Distribution filed. If the Administrator for the Estate has an attorney, you may want to contact the attorney and find out why a Petition has not been filed? You should also file and serve a request for special notice so that you will receive all notices and filings. It is beginning to seem like a bit too long for this to be wrapped up, but there are sometimes circumstances that cause the delay in distribution, particularly if there are large liens against the Estate.
