Re: time to settle an estate

A year to probate a simple estate does seem a bit long, ,but there are reasons for the process to drag on longer than we might think appropriate. If there were complications that arose, or if the attorney is slow in getting things done, a simple probate can easily take a year or more. I would be putting pressure on the personal representative to finish everything by now, especially if you know that there have been no complications.
