Legal Question in Wills and Trusts in Pennsylvania

Thank you for adding some further detail. If your father died in 2008 then there is no excuse as to why the estate was not closed by 2010 providing that your uncle was appointed shortly after your father died.

Again, if the house was sold a month ago, I do not understand why the sale proceeds have to go into the estate at all here. You would have to speak to the attorney who handled the real estate closing on the house. Did the attorney send the money to the estate and if so, why?

Beyond that, my prior advice stands. You should still have an attorney review the estate file to see what has or has not been done. Its not possible to give you a definitive answer without knowing what has been done. If the uncle did nothing until only recently, then it can take awhile. On the other hand, if tax approval has been given and the inventory filed then this should be wrapped up fairly quickly as your uncle would just have to file the final accounting and send a copy to you. If no objections are filed, then the confirmation hearing could be as soon as the court/clerk can hear it.
