A friend was left a fairly large sum of money (in stocks if that matters). This was 13 months ago and all other aspects of the will have long been settled but her lawyer seems to be dragging the whole process out.

Today her lawyer told her that there is an accountant “working on it” but it could be another 24 months before it is finished. Is 36 months an average time frame for this sort of thing?

Thanks.
