While there is no specific statutory deadline in California, executors are expected to complete distributions within a reasonable time—usually within 30 to 60 days of court approval. Failing to distribute assets promptly may expose the executor to legal challenges or liability for damages.
In other words, heirs receive their inheritance at the end of the probate proceeding. Generally, this is at least 10-18 months after the probate petition is initially filed with the court. Once the judge has issued the order for distribution, estate heirs can expect to receive an inheritance check within a few weeks.
Effective April 1, 2021 Proposition 19 permits eligible homeowners (defined as over 55, severely disabled, or whose homes were destroyed by wildfire or disaster) to transfer their primary residence's property tax base value to a replacement residence of any value, anywhere in the state.
An order for final distribution in California probate is conclusive to the rights of heirs and devisees in a decedent's estate. The order also releases the personal representative from claims by heirs and devisees, unless, of course, there is fraud or misrepresentation present.
