I learned that no matter how screwed up a job an executor does, if no one objects at the estate closing, the estate will be closed. My aunt that was the executor for her sister (deceased had no children) violated the will from the first item. I got caught up in the mess as an heir (along with 17 other relatives). I could have written a book before it closed (after 5 years). Then the aunt that was the executor got declared incompetent before it closed. You have to file taxes every year until the estate closes. You go January 1 in 2024 and you have to file taxes for that year.
