Legal Question in Wills and Trusts in California

There isn’t a timeline to start probate after lodging of the will. However, in my opinion in most cases there is not a good reason to delay. I did say most as there can be specific issues that make delaying better. In any event I would reach out to the executor and ask them what their plan is. If their plan does not meet with your expectations I encourage you to chat with an experienced California probate attorney to discuss your options.
