The estate should be opened within a reasonable time and as soon as practicable, especially where there are debts to be paid. If an estate is not timely opened, any interested person, including creditors of the estate, may apply to be appointed to administer the estate.

There is no statutory time limit for opening an estate after the death of the decedent. The estate should be opened within a reasonable time and as soon as practicable, especially where there are debts to be paid. If an estate is not timely opened, any interested person, including creditors of the estate, may apply to be appointed to administer the estate.
