Probate timeline in your State
The Probate process in terms of timeline is State contingent. Every State has their own set of rules and processes. But a general timeline will consist of approximately 9 months. First month will be information gathering and getting all the parties together to read the will and getting organized. Next is to file the will if an attorney had not been chosen previously by the decedent. Obtaining the attorney can be a daunting task, make sure to get one that specializes in the area of estate planning especially if you are dealing with someone who has a lot of real estate.
