How long does it take to get notified about the will?

The executor of a will is obligated to use all reasonable efforts to locate beneficiaries under the will promptly. There is no precise time limit. If the executor never locates named beneficiaries he will have to eventually file an affidavit with the probate court to that effect. If you think you are a beneficiary, you should hear fairly soon after the executor learns of the death and that he is the executor and obtains a copy of the will. He will have to file the original of the will with the probate court when he begins to serve as executor, and you could visit the office of the probate court and read the will to see if you are a beneficiary. Payments of bequests may not be immediately forthcoming, as the executor will be required to advertise in a local paper a certain number of times over a certain period of time to give notice to any creditors out there to come forward and make a claim in order to be paid. Until this period has elapsed someone might come in with a claim, so assets of the estate have to be preserved until that time has elapsed.
