Probate Status Timing
Hello BP family,
I have read a few articles and blogs regarding probate but I am still questioning the timing. I read an article by @Sharon Vornholt that the seasonal timing is important and that's definitely understandable. I understand the heirs can't sell the property until the title has been transferred into their name. How long after the newspaper publish of probate administration should I actually think about contacting the executor? I read that the heirs can have the property removed from the estate but let's say the estate info is published Jan 2015, do you contact the executor then? Or do you wait 90 days and then contact them? I've read probate can take years at times. Do you have to consistently keep going back to read the file in order view the current status?
Thanks for any insight,
Erin
