How long does an executor of a trust have to disburse the money to an heir?

An executor is the term used for the person who has been appointed by a court to settle an estate. The person who can act for a trust is called the trustee. You should review the terms of the trust for provisions as to when the trust property must be distributed. If you think the trustee is not distributing the funds in a timely manner you should file a complaint with the court where the estate or trust was filed.

Can the estate recover funds from overpayment to heirs?

It is probable that there will be different laws relating to this in different countries so you really need the services/advice of a lawyer (attorney). However, basically it is the executor's (the person named in the will to execute the will) job to settle the estate's debts and distribute the remainder of the estate to the heirs as set out in the will. If there has been an overpayment or mistake made by the executor then the executor would possibly be personally liable to correct the mistake (especially if the executor was a professional). Recovering funds once they have been paid out would not be a likely course of action.
