These are just a few of the factors that can lengthen the probate process. As a result, it is a reasonable estimation that an estate will remain open on average for about six months. Obviously, some could be open for as little as four months while others could last upwards of nine months or more. Each estate is different.
Since the problems of each estate differ, no accurate time schedule can be given for the length required to probate the estate. However, no estate with assets amounting to more than the legal allowance and debts, taxes and costs may be closed before six months after the date of death.he executor or administrator will usually be required to: 1  Notify heirs and creditors of the probate proceedings. 2  Take possession of inventory and preserve the probate assets of the deceased. 3  Collect all income, such as rents, interest and dividends, demand and collect all debts, claims and notes due.
