Is there a time limit for an estate to go through probate from the time an executor is named?
Actually, that requirement is usually addressed by state laws that may vary from state to state. An example of the law in Connecticut is as follows:
- The custodian of the will or the executor must collect the will and any amendments to the will, called "codicils." Any person who has custody of a decedent's will must deliver it to the executor or the probate court within 30 days of the death of the decedent. The purpose of this rule is to expedite the start of the probate process.
