Re: time limit to carry out will

I suggest retaining a local attorney. Make a demand for an accounting and, if necessary do it through the Surrogate's Court. If he has mishandled the estate, he can be personally responsible to return the assets your children are entitled to receive. This should be done as soon as possible.

You have waited too long. Retain an attorney in Nevada to find out what is going on.
