More details to this question:
California has a one year statute of limitations to make a claim against an estate after someone dies. Does this statute also apply to heirs in the will ?

For a creditors claim (for before death claims) the one year is pretty solid. This would be any creditor whether named in will or not. However, a beneficiary of a will is still entitled to what the will provides to them even if after a year. There is no statute of limitation to extinguish a beneficiary's right to inherit what the will says they should get.
