Re: estates
The amount of time that has past seems unusual, but it depends upon the complexity of the estate. I suggest that you have an attorney contact the lawyer representing the estate to make inquiries on your behalf. You may contact me, if you wish to discuss the matter.
Re: estates
It depends on what is being distributed. If the distribution is cash, then yes, it is too long. If the distribution is from a business, or commercial property or a personal injury action, the amount of time may be proper.
You should re-submit your question with more information as to what is in the estate.
