I understand your frustration. The best way to get it over is to hire an attorney to help file the final account. This can help get it over with and also help make sure you don't run into any problems in the future. See the Find A Lawyer tab.

If your thought is that you want to push the executor to hurry up and close the case, that isn't likely to happen. The courts generally defer to the executor's judgment as to when to wrap it up and make a distribution.
I am talking about my dad he had a will when him and my mom were together but they're divorced so the will doesn't state any items specifically just said it would go to me and my brothers

The will probably results in you and your sibling(s) getting the house. A transfer on death affidavit must be recorded prior to death to be enforceable. If you're in Central Ohio, I'd be happy to look at it for you.

As a beneficiary, you are entitled to notice of the various stages of the case. You may also waive your right to those notices...and this is commonly done. If you have a copy of every document you signed, look them over.

Medicaid could have an interest in the estate. But, you should be able to get paid the funeral costs back at a minimum. Give us a call and we can help.
Ohio resident had no spouse or children. Resident's parents are deceased and has siblings. One sibling legally disclaims entire estate. Do the children of the disclaimed sibling have a legal claim or would the entire estate go to the remaining siblings of the deceased?
answered on Mar 29, 2023
Without doing any research on this, I will add that it is possible for a disclaimer to result in the disclaimant being considered 'predeceased' and that may result in their children inheriting. Of course, it could be setup another way depending on the instrument used. Details and... View More

If there aren't any other assets or creditors, then maybe pretty soon. But, it's not unusual for payout to take a while if tax returns need filed, other assets need dealt with, or creditors need paid.
Dies, understanding that we may each pick someone different. (Would we each do our own TOD? (Wanting to avoid probate).

A single TOD affidavit will allow the property to avoid probate. But, it will also allow the survivor to change the plan. If you want to lock in a plan, then you need to talk to an attorney about your options.

Mr. Popp is correct. Additionally, and again depending on the circumstances, your attorney may be able to deposit the check into their IOLTA (client trust) account and then distribute the money to you.

This is probably a two-step process. You need to probate your dad's estate and distribute under intestacy. Then, probate your mom's estate and distribute her share of the financial assets under her will.

Most likely the stock will go to the beneficiary named under his will, or by intestacy if he didn't have a will. A few other things could be really important. Contact an attorney for this one. You're going to need to open probate at a minimum.
