In california what is the time period after a house is sold that i will recieve my inheritance?

Question

Its been well over a year since my beloved grandmother has passed, god rest her soul. The house officially closed in esgrow a little under 3 weeks ago. I would talk to the executor but she is my aunt and we have not gotten along for a very long time. Can someone help me?

Answer 1

You could call your aunt, but you could also skip her and call the attorney handling the estate.

Just because the house was sold, does not necessarily mean the estate is settled.  There may be outstanding expenses (medical, legal, open debt) that have to be settled before the estate is paid out.

Once all creditors are paid, you should be able to receive your share immediately.

Answer 2

Yeah, you should have gotten it by now- your going to have to contact your aunt and I am sure she'll have a lame excuse.  Day of closing she would have gotten a check.

Answer 3

I was executor. I paid off all heirs 5 minutes after the house was sold. I didn't want one single person wondering where their money was.  I gave each one a "settlement" sheet that showed all the figures. /
