Probate court? How long does it take for?

For the money to be distributed.
The child that passed away was a minor and papers were signed to go to probate court with figures of who gets what.. etc.. How long does it usually take for everything to be distributed? I am in Illinois. Thanks.
I am the parent and there is a lawsuit worth millions. His father and I have signed papers after the hospital settled. We just signed more papers so it it going to probate court..

State generally requires probate to remain open for a full year to allow all claims to be addressed.
“There is a lawsuit worth millions”….
Gee…a little fact that could drag on for years.
If the child was a minor he probably did not own anything to be distributed.
If there is an insurance policy the proceeds do not depend on the probate court, they are distributed to the named beneficiary without court order.
All the possessions of a child are presumed to belong to their parent. If there is a trust or if the child had property that was given to them by someone else’s will there is probably a provision for that to be distributed that was set up by the original benefactor.
Good Luck
