How long is a piece of string?
It depends on how complicated the estate is and whether they believe what has been submitted.
Could be anything from a few weeks to months and months. That's after everything has been collated and the paperwork completed and submitted, that in itself can be a lenghty procedure.
My Mum died in February last year and the first part of our inheritance was paid in December. She had numerous bank accounts etc and the property had to be valued, not sold but valued. My sister and I were the only beneficiaries and also the executors we also had solicitors doing everything for us.
This is assuming there is a Will, if it is intestate then this rpocess will be longer.
Approximately one year. A lot depends on whether or not there is a will made by the deceased. A will makes things easier. If there is not a will, your best bet is to use an attorney, to smooth the way for you.
They dont move themselves too fast...the rush of oxygen to the brain could be fatal..lol
It can take up to a year, if things are complicated you can bank on it taking longer...;
What does this have to do with entertaining?
and what with food & drink?
Even if there is a straightforward will, it can take up to a year.
The key to Probate is having a GOOD attorney. My brother died without a will 3 years ago November 23rd and we are still in probate because the stupid attorney I hired. If you live in California and in Riverside County send me an email if your looking for an attorney so you don't use mine.
It can take up to three months, i think its all to do with collecting info and making sure all is order before you are paid so that there is no come back. But i think it cost to much!
