The purpose of probate is to distribute things. Without it, there is no way to appropriately inherit something.

After an estate is closed how long does it take to get your money?

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 mother passed away She was one of her brother's heirs on his will Will her inhertiance go to her children?

Is your Uncle still living? If so, the wording of his will should specify what happens. If your mother died after your uncle, his gift will typically become part of her estate and be distributed according to her will. Your state's laws may vary slightly. Consult a probate attorney in your state to find out.
