It varies greatly based on the size of the estate and the number of assets. A small estate can be resolved in less than 6 months. There are very large estates that are still in probate after several decades.

Are there ways to get an advance on an inheritance?

There are no banks that offer advances on inheritance loans. You'll have to wait until the person dies. There is a way to get an advance on your inheritance. Advance Inheritance, LLC is a company that will give you part of your inheritance in advance instead of waiting months. You never have to make monthly payments because it is repaid from the estate or trust.

How long do you have to wait after a bankruptcy discharge to inherit land?

The way this question is worded implies you want to manipulate the inheritance to avoid including it in your bankruptcy. If you become an heir to land or any property (cash, motor vehicle, etc.) prior to filing or while you are in bankruptcy, or within 180 days after discharge, you must disclose the inheritance to the trustee and the court, even if you have not actually received the property. There is no "waiting."


How long must one wait after selling a stock before one can repurchase again?

It's an important strategy for saving income taxes. You sell the stock at the end of the year to take the loss and buy back because you believe in the stock for the long term. The risk is that the stock will have a run up after you sold and before you bought back. I'm not sure how long you have to wait (per IRS) to buy it back though. That's why I bumped into this question.
