Family of mine sold a home that was part of an estate. It has been 6 +months and we have not received and payment as of yet. Is there a time when the monies must be distributed. We are waiting on this so we can finalize the Estate.

Is there a time period when the monies must be distributed.Hello Karon:

Yes! Immediately!

You should be on the phone with the escrow company. The very moment the property is transferred, the buyer gets the keys, and the seller gets a check - THE VERY MOMENT!

Was there other property the estate has to close out,

Was there debts the estate had to pay from the sell of the house, hospital bills, funeral bills.

The estate gets the money the day the closing happens,

If there is no other bills and this is the last activity, about two week after the sale you would have gotten your money.
