How long after the death of a loved one does the executor have to settle the estate and get a loan to pay off the heirs?

The executor doesn't borrow money to pay off heirs. They get paid from the remaining estate, according to the provisions in the will, after the debts have been paid. If there is nothing left then the heirs get nothing. As to "how long", it depends on how complicated the situation is; an executor is expected to act in good faith with all reasonable and prudent speed, but the law does not require that the executor work miracles. If a substantial part of the estate is non-liquid assets, it could legitimately take longer for the estate to settle than if it were primarily cash.

What happens to the car when someone passes away?

that depends on whether it is paid off or still has a loan/lean on it. if it is paid off, it must be willed to somebody, or it can be purchased from the estate. if it has a loan on it it can either be givin back to the lender, or the loan can be taken over by the executor of estate. if it is to be bought form the estate it must be sold by the executor of estate. if it is willed to a person and it is paid off you simply have to do the paperwork to make it legally yours. in any case, the best person to discuss this with is the executor of estate, or the deceased's lawyer. they can handle or guide you to your options. just an fyi, the executor is essentially somebody who has power of attorney. they are typically the widow, or somebody appointed in the will.

If there is written evidence of the loan and your mother didn't cancel it in her will then it may be an issue. If there are other beneficiaries who will all share in the estate the loan amount should come out of your brother's share unless the other heirs agree voluntarily to cancel the debt.
