Many estates can be administered in around six months if there aren’t issues with creditors or controversies among the beneficiaries. Formal probate can take longer because there are hearings involved. The length of time depends on whether parts of the probate are contested and how quickly the personal representative performs his/her duty. Notice must be provided to creditors and there is a period in which creditors may file claims against the estate.
