There are two types of wills: formal and informal. Formal wills are written by an attorney, signed in the presence of witnesses, and sometimes notarized. Informal wills, also known as holographic wills, are written entirely in the handwriting of the person making the will and do not require witnesses or notarization.
The formal probate administration usually takes 6-9 months under most circumstances - start to finish. This process includes appointing a personal representative (i.e., the executor), a 90 days creditors period that must run, payment of creditors claims and more.

Formal Probate: High level of court supervision, with multiple hearings and judicial oversight. Informal Probate: Minimal court involvement, with fewer hearings and more autonomy for the personal representative.
For uncontested and informal probate cases, you can expect the estate to be settled in six to eight months, assuming the personal representative completes their duties in a timely fashion. However, more complicated estates and those going through formal or supervised probate can take much longer to settle.
If at any time a party in the proceedings decides that he or she wants to switch to formal probate, he or she can file a petition with the court to allow for formal administration. If you decide to use informal probate, you do not have to hire an attorney, but it is still advised that you do so.
