Legal Question in Wills and Trusts in California
time limits in wills
I am due an inheritance from a grandparent. In the will it gives a 6 month time for the executor to administer the will. 6 months have come and gone with little or no explanation. Is there anything I can or should do? Just how important is a time limit such as this?

Re: time limits in wills
Does very important sound enough for you. I just basically answered a question for an individual before yours. So here we go again. Get out of your chair, turn off your monitor, and gold find an attorney who is expert in probate/litigation. No matter what, things slow up in the state since the main party is dead. You know the old squeaky wheel saying that if you don't learn it, better yet do it or have your attorney do it for you. Attorney who knows what they're doing. Does sit back and wait as you must do things immediately or else they will disappear.I have practiced law in the San Francisco Bay area for over 30 years and feel quite confident in terms of my familiarity with your problem. If you wish to contact me to set up an appointment please call me at 925-945 -- 6000.
Re: time limits in wills
The will may have needed to go through probate, which could make the process take longer. Check to see if a Probate is opened, and if so, file a request for special notice.
Re: time limits in wills
Contact the administrator to find out what is going on. If the will has not been filed, and there is no intention to file it, see an attorney for possibly opening your own probate. if the matter is open, simply file a request for special notice to stay informed.
