An executor cannot claim for the time they have incurred; however they are entitled to be reimbursed for the reasonable costs of the administration.
As an Executor, you should ideally wait 10 months from the date of the Grant of Probate before distributing the estate.
An estate cannot be closed in less than five months from filing. The estate's creditors must be notified of the decedent's death. They are given a four-month period to file their claims against the estate.
If you want to be the personal representative, complete the Application for Informal Probate and/ or Appointment of Personal Representative form. File the form, the decedent's will (if there is one), and a certified copy of the death certificate with the county probate court where the decedent lived.

Executor Fees in Michigan For example, if in the last year, executor fees were typically 1.5%, then 1.5% would be considered reasonable and 3% may be unreasonable. But the court can take into account other factors such as how complicated the estate is to administer and may increase or decrease the amount from there.
Assignment of Property This process can be used to distribute all the property in the estate. It does have the risk of having a creditor try to collect the decedent's debt from heirs for up to 63 days after the order is signed.
An estate in unsupervised administration can be closed by filing a Sworn Statement to Close Unsupervised Administration (PC591), or a Petition for Adjudication of Testacy and Complete Estate Settlement (PC594), or a Petition for Complete Estate Settlement, Testacy Previously Adjudicated (PC593).
Michigan Probate Laws require a decedent's assets go through Probate if the assets were held solely in their name. Assets usually don't need to go through Probate if the assets that are jointly owned, the assets have a beneficiary designation, or the assets are held in a Living Trust.
Since every estate is different, the time it takes to settle the estate may also differ. Most times, an executor would take 8 to 12 months. But depending on the size and complexity of the estate, it may take up to 2 years or more to settle the estate.
