Does an administrator for a estate probate have a legal duty to keep heirs-at-law informed on status of probate?

There is no legal duty to issue updates. However, it is so easy to keep in touch with email that it should be done as a courtesy. The heirs should request that the administrator send out an email periodically to apprise them of the status of the administration. If the Administrator isn't keen on that idea, anyone can visit the probate court and request the file. A quick review will tell you what has been filed and if the probate is moving along. If it appears the Administrator isn't settling the estate with expediency you can complain to the Administrator and if there is no response then you can petition the court to compel the Administrator to act or to appoint a replacement.
