How Long Does It Take to Get through the Probate Process? The length of time that a probate proceeding may last is difficult to determine, but people should generally assume that it will take at least four months. Creditors must be given 90 days, which alone accounts for a three-month period.

You should expect it to take a minimum of six months to a year to settle an estate because of the legal notice requirements and time that creditors have to submit claims against the estate. Creditors have 90 days from the first publication date of the notice of probate.
