State laws typically govern the specific timeframe for keeping an estate open after death, but the average is about two years. The duration an estate remains open depends on how fast it goes through the probate process, how quickly the executor can fulfill their responsibilities, and the complexity of the estate.
Simple estates might be settled within six months. Complex estates, those with a lot of assets or assets that are complex or hard to value can take several years to settle. If an estate tax return is required, the estate might not be closed until the IRS indicates its acceptance of the estate tax return.
Since the executor is personally liable to creditors if he distributes assets before 7 months have elapsed from his appointment, the minimum time it takes to complete probate is 7 months from the time the will is admitted to probate, although we sometimes see estates stay opened for two years or more.
In some states, there is a time limit to applying for probate (for example, the filing of all the necessary paperwork must begin ten days after the date of death). However, if you're in New York, there's no designated timeline for filing a request to validate the will with the probate court.
