You are entitled to a full reporting on the estate. If there are not a lot of outstanding debts, there is no reason for it to take more than 6 to 8 months. If there are a lot of assets, property, stocks and the like, it takes a while to evaluate and value them, report the results to the court and get permission to distribute the estate.

depends on how much is involved..
In my own partents estate...he litterarly had only a $40,000 house and $5000 in the estate (all else in a trust).
Our only delay was the process itself and a small delay.
And that was mostly the lawyer.
Court was actually faster than the lawyer..
His delay was in not doing his job, which btw, is a suable.
