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.</p><p class="MsoNormal"> </p><p class="MsoNormal">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.</p><p class="MsoNormal"> </p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Verdana",sans-serif;color:#500050">Sincerely,</span><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif;color:#500050"><br></span><b><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif;color:#3333ff"><br></span></b><b><span style="font-size:13.5pt;font-family:"Lucida Handwriting";color:#3333ff">Chris J.
