Probate takes 7 months minimum from start to finish. Thus the fact that the house sold two months ago is not necessarily grounds for concern. However, I would need to know more details to speak with assuredness. For example, is the executor trustworthy? Is the money in a secure account? Is there a bond in place? Those relate to the security of the money. Then, for when probate should end, I would need to know when letters issued, when creditors were put on notice, if taxes have been paid, etc.... These and many other questions are what would help an attorney evaluate your specific situation. Good luck. -John
