How long do I have to carry out the terms of a will after the death?

David Goldman
Answered by attorney David Goldman
Estate Planning lawyer at Law Office of David M. Goldman PLLC
If you have a will, you are suppose to file it with the court within 10 days of death. Once a probate is opened there are time requirements for taking action or seeing permission to get an extension, but there is no requirement to open a probate. Often people wait for 2 years so that if no one files a claim, the claims can be invalidated.
