Re: what to expect with will
NY probate laws are very slow to comply with. This could account for the delay. You do not say what the Will provided should happen to the house on her death. The Will controls and the executor appointed has to follow the Will's dictates. I cannot comment without seeing a copy of the Will. If there is no Will, the matter gets more complicated, as intestacy (dying without a Will) laws control and the results might be different. More information is needed to give you an answer.
