Patience is called for here. It can take 6 months or more to pay the bills and arrange for the assets to be disbursed. If yours is an outright distribution of a share, then you will be paid once all the administrative things are done. If yours is a share to be held in further Trust for you, then you get the money when the Trust terms dictate. No one is writing you a check for quite a while. You can contact that Trustee and ask for the expected time line for a more specific answer based on the actual facts of your situation.
