Buying property from a trust with court approval required time

Hi! I'm trying to close on a property that is in a trust and the sale needed probate court approval, which we got. Now we are waiting for the court to send to paperwork to escrow so we can officially close. Does anyone know how long this could take - paperwork from court to escrow? In California and approval hearing happened on June 9th. 

Curious what I am in for because we have a tight renovation deadline and the contractor can't wait very long before putting another job in front of ours. 

Thanks!

If downtown San Diego probate court, expect 1-3 weeks to get certified copy after approval. 

The judge is pretty effective however there is often a disconnect between the attorney, couriers, court clerk and judicial staff. 

Just factor this in. 

I've had to wait as long as 6-8 weeks in LA court when judges on vacation and other issues complicate the system.
