Question Detail:

(NB even though all shareholders are fully aware that they will receive their shares later.

Answer :

In the name of Allah, Most Gracious, Most Merciful
Assalaamu `alaykum waRahmatullahi Wabarakatoh
It is advisable to distribute the estate of the deceased as soon as possible. However, since it is not practical to liquidate the entire estate immediately, the executors may set up a time frame in which the entire estate may be liquidated with the consent of the heirs.
It will also be correct if the heirs agree to take up their respective portions (of the estate) in the form of shares in the properties, instead of liquidating the estate.
And Allah knows best
