Legal Question in Wills and Trusts in California

notification of a will

I live in Italy, My father was an american citizen and died in Italy in 1998.

All his properties are in Italy , I mean there are no estates or money in the USA now.

My mother has not notified my father's will to his daughters (3) up to now. (14 years!)

According with the california law , how many time is given to the executor to notify the will to the heirs after the death of testator (my father)?

Furthermore if I am an pretermited heir (My mothr was pregnant of me at the date of testament) do I have the right to ask to be entitled.

If my mother has not notified the will is the will still valid?

Thank you for your hepl abd sorry for my english.

Per quanto riguarda il suo problema, dovrebbe preliminarmente darmi delle informazioni utili per risolvere il suo quesito.

1) Sua madre � gi� entrata in possesso dei beni italiani?

Queste informazioni possono farmi risolvere il problema della legge applicabile (USA-California o legge italiana) al testamento e, poi, i problemi collegati (validit� del testamento, quote legittime, ecc.),
