How long does it take to get papers for "personal representative" in probate ?

Asked over 2 years ago - New York, NY

I am named as executor in will.
My brother was a Florida resident with under $40K probatable assets in Fla. He has some real estate assets in New York that I need to sell and need "Letter of Authorization" to do that. How quickly can I get appointment as "Personal Representative" from Florida Court ?

What you need to file in New York is a Petition for Ancillary Probate in the Surrogate's Court of the county in which the property is located.
