The probate process is the method by which your estate is processed through the courts to determine how it is dispersed. Even if you have a legal will, your estate will be probated. Probating an estate basically paying any debts you own, then transferring any assets to your beneficiaries. If you do not have a will, the courts in your area will use the law to determine who receives your assets. If you have a legal will, any assets (minus any debts) will be transferred to the people you have chosen as beneficiaries.

How long can a beneficiary stall a probate of a will?
The laws vary in every different jurisdiction. It is not possible to give you a precise answer. Generally, when a will is submitted to the probate court for allowance and appointment of the executor there is a statutory period during which the will can be challenged and objections to the appointment of the executor can be filed. That must be done in writing. If either or both are filed, the court will schedule a hearing and render a decision. The probate procedure then proceeds. Beneficiaries are asked to sign assents at several points during the process. If one refuses to sign, a notice of the matter is published and the process proceeds. Difficult participants may file objections and complaints in writing during the process, the court will rule and the process will proceed. The executor is entitled to compensation for performing their duties. If you require more specific information you should consult with an attorney in your jurisdiction who specializes in probate or with the attorney who is handling the probate in question.
