What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? CA
My employer had a revocable living trust. That trust specified that after her death I was to receive $2,000. She died in December of 2008, and I still have not received the $2,000 as of September 2011.
My employer's daughters are now co-trustees of my employer's estate (originally there was a family friend who was named as trustee, but he resigned due to health issues of his own, then there was an attorney handling the estate, but he died suddenly in October of 2009; following the attorney's death, I was informed by one of these daughters that she and her sister were now the co-trustees -- in the copy of the trust I received from the attorney, there was an option for these 2 daughters to be co-trustees if they so desired), which includes a house valued at 1.5 million dollars, and at the time of my employer's death she had approximately $150,000 in stock brokerage accounts.
One daughter told me that no disbursements will be made until the house has been sold, but the house has never even been put on the market. This same daughter indicated that some disbursements of property had been made to herself, namely some antique furniture and a car her mother had left to her.
Is there any sort of time limit (3 years? 5 years?), in the state of CA, for the trustees to make monetary disbursements to all beneficiaries of a trust? Also, am I supposed to file some sort of claim to the estate (I didn't figure I had to since I was named specifically in the trust as a beneficiary).
