The length of time for probate vary by county and state to state. But, mostly it depends on the executor as to how efficient they are in doing their duties after the probate process is complete. Find out who the executor (or admnistrator) is and ask them how long it will be before they start distributing the estate. ( You can find out who the executor is by viewing the will at your local Probate Court.)

My uncle left a will and I want to know how long does it take for the will to pay me.?

The will doesn't pay you, the estate does. The estate is created to execute the will. First of all the value of the estate has to be determined. This can take several months. All the debts of the deceased have to be paid. Then, if there is anything left, the executor will follow the rules of the estate. If you are not yet an adult, the money will go into a trust fund until you're 18. Sometimes the will will specifies a certain age.
