my mom passed away in November and an attorney is handling the estate. Yes she had a will. . Approximately what is the expected length of time for this process? Her estate is worth probably a million or a little more. Thank you

14 months is the time (prescribed by statute) usually alloted in the Commonwealth to probate a decedent's estate.
