What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? I'm in Illinois.
In April my fiance died, his will was read and he left me a gift of cash.
His will was read in North Carolina and I have not heard anything at all since being advised that I was left something. How long does it take for the attourny to contact the heirs? Is there a limit by law for how long this can drag out? I understand that the family has been under some strain, however other heirs have already recieved their gifts.
Do I need to contact the court myself? How do I go about that? I have no way of contacting the family as I have only comminicated with them via e-mail and that account has since been closed.
