How long should an estate account stay open after a loved one has passed away?

Question:
How long should an estate account stay open after a loved one has passed away?

Answer:
Six months to a year would be "normal", but large estates may have valuation issues that take time, and disposition of high-value items like a business can take time, family disputes can make it drag on indefinitely, and if the Decedent had civil issues like being involved in a lawsuit or IRS problems, those usually have to be resolved.

I don't know the record, but I heard of one that finally got completed recently that had gone on for over forty years.
