Question

How soon should the estate of the deceased be finalized and the assets distributed to the heirs?

Answer

The process of winding up the estate should commence immediately after burial. Unnecessary delay is haraam. The inordinate delays of months and years which has become the norm, is scandalous and haraam. It is tantamount to usurpation and denial of the rights of the heirs.
