Can our brother legally hold monies additional 2 years?

Did your parents have a trust and/or a will. Assuming your brother was appointed to be trustee and/or executor he has a number of duties to the other beneficiaries and in a typical situation he would be charged with collecting the assets of the estate and distributing them to the beneficiaries.Given the fact that your father died two years ago this should have probably already have been completed.  Can you provide me with more info? Does the trust or will set forth certain dates when the assets are to be distributed? Thanks,Jon
