Is it allowed for the administrator of the estate not to distribute the proceed of the estate after it has long been settled?

The estate is not settled until the final distribution is made. The heirs shouldn't sign off on the estate until they have received distribution of their shares. If the administrator tries to file a final account prior to distribution, thereby closing the estate, the heirs should object and notify the court that they haven't received there shares in the estate. Nothing should be left "up in the air" once an estate has been "settled". If there are issues remaining now that the estate had been closed you will need to consult with an attorney who can review your situation and explain your options.
