If the wife doesn't apply for administrator after the death of her spouse, can one of their children apply?

Christine James
Answered by attorney Christine James
Estate Planning lawyer at James Law Group
Yes but if the wife decides to hire a lawyer and file a petition that competes with the child's petition, the wife will get the administration as she has priority.

How long can an estate case take?

Roman Aminov
Answered by attorney Roman Aminov
Estate Planning lawyer at Law Offices of Roman Aminov
That is a very fact specific question, and one that you should discuss with an attorney. It depends on how large the estate is, who the next of kin are, where the decedent was domiciled, etc.
