However, bank accounts, life insurance policies, and retirement accounts that have a designated beneficiary are not considered probate assets.
As long as there aren't any contests to the will or objections to the executor's actions, the executor will be allowed to settle the estate at the conclusion of the four-month waiting period. That means an executor who is on top of their responsibilities could theoretically wrap up probate in as little as four months.
