The closing date of aug really upsets us because we really need to close in June
but it doesn't look like thats going to happen.
Im not sure how the whole probate process works but...

It's all about how the deceased had their property titled and how they wrote their will.
Or more likely... how they didn't write their will.
Getting a fair market appraisal shouldn't be complicated...
and presenting that to the Orphans Court Judge should be routine.
It might take a couple weeks but absent a contest to the deal to sell
or some deeper dispute in the family about the estate in general it should all be boilerplate.
Deeper answers will require asking someone deeper into the situation.
Start with the executor --who is always a competent attorney.
