New York estate law questions

How long does an executor have to settle an estate in New York?

New York sets no single deadline. A clean probate can move in months. A will contest, a kinship hearing, or an accounting takes as long as the proof takes.

The useful question on the first call is what is holding the file, not a promise of a date.
