How long does it take to Probate or Administrate an Estate?
Each Probate or administration case is unique. Your notice of application has to be posted for 5 days before you can file a petition for letters. The notice of application will lapse and be of no further force or effect 6 months from the date of its posting in the Registry of the Court unless within that time an application for Letters of Probate or administration, as the case may be, is filed in the Registry, or unless, within that time, a Caveat opposing such application is entered in the Registry.
