Notice to distributees
Sec. 1.5. (a) As soon as letters testamentary or letters of administration have been issued, the clerk of the court shall serve by mail notice of the petition on each of the decedent's heirs at law, if the decedent died intestate, or the devisees and legatees under the decedent's will. The mailing of notice under this subsection may not be waived.
The only thing that can be said is: it depends.thanks for the information... so basically, he'll have to wait for his (stepmom) to submit the will to the court.... I'm going to assume she'll do this pretty quickly since checks are still coming in from different companies.... I'm guessing that in order for her to deposit these checks the will has to be submitted to assign her as the (trustee)?? not sure of the legal term here??
