Legal Answers
- Q. Why would it take months for probate to b over?deceased had filed bankruptcy
- A: Hello,
Generally settling an estate takes at least six months. Mostly it takes this long, even if not much else is happening, because anyone who has a claim against the estate has six months to make a claim, after which all claims are barred.
You will probably want to talk with an attorney to get answers specific to your questions.
Good luck!

- A: Hello,
