After all matters involving administration of the estate have been concluded. This typically involves paying debts, possibly selling assets, filing all required tax returns, and getting discharged from the IRS (if such discharge is requested). It can take a very short time (two weeks is the quickest I have seen) for an uncontested simple estate to 10 years or more for complicated or contested estates.
