[WSBAPT] Closing Estate in Under 6 Months

[Chris Moore]

I represent the PR of an estate where the decedent died 10 or more years
ago.  The only asset is a home that was used by both the decedent and a
child as their primary residence.  Child continued to reside in home after
decedent’s death.  Home was owned solely by decedent.  Now that child has
died, a probate was begun to get a PR appointed to fix up and sell the
residence.  The residence sold fairly quickly, so we now have only cash in
the estate.



Since the 2 year statute of limitations passed years ago, is there any
need/requirement to hold the estate open for 6 months?  The surviving
siblings and issue would like to receive their distribution sooner rather
than later.  Before I start my research I wondered if anyone had dealt with
this fact pattern before.



Sincerely,
