The distribution shouldn't be made until the statutory period during which creditors can make a claim has expired. An executor must act efficiently and expeditiously in settling an estate. If you think things are not proceeding as quickly as they should then ask the executor and/or the attorney who is handling the estate for a status report. If you don't receive a prompt response then complain to the court. Depending on the complexity of the estate it can take a few months to two years or more to complete the probate proceeding.
