Legal Question in Wills and Trusts in Virginia

More than a year after the Administrator divided and distributed personal property to the beneficiaries, he has written and asked for a close up photo of one item. The Administrator is also the only other beneficiary, and the estate is not yet closed.

Since the Administrator had all personal property in his possession prior to distribution, and managed the distribution to the personal property. Why is he now asking for this, and what is the personal property now considered by the court? Is it now owned by the beneficiary or is still considered a estate asset? I'm required to full this request?

Thank you.

It seems to me that you would ask the administrator/beneficiary why he needs the photo. It could be that he is trying to establish value, or some such, but it also seems to me he should have done this before he made the distribution.
