There is generally no specific time limit on an estate staying open and active. Some estates are much more complicated than others and may involve litigation that would delay completion in what otherwise would be a reasonable time for completion. Most states require completion in a prompt manner depending on the nature of the estate. In New Jersey, after 1 year, beneficiaries can have the probate court order the executor to file an intermediate accounting showing the status of the estate and explaining why it is still open. If the executor is delaying things unnecessarily, the court might remove him/her and appoint another. Check the laws of the jurisdiction where the estate is to find out the specifics of that jurisdiction.
