Time Frame for Settling An Estate

Answered by: 

Question: 
Is there a time frame in which an estate has to be settled?
Answer: 

Generally, no. If there is, it is a function of state law.

John Wayne's estate is still open because there are still revenues coming in from his acting career. Sometimes, in very large estates, the IRS may demand closure citing the fact that there are no issues left to be resolved.
