Legal Question in Wills and Trusts in New York

Accounting of Funds of Estate
My husband's mother passed away, without a will, there were two properties that needed to be sole, and my husband's sister was not cooperating at all. Long story short, finally, all propeties are sold, and now the accounting of the funds must be done. Since my sister n law has a habit of trying to stall things, is there a cut off period of how long to could stall, meaning, not submitting her accounting to the atty. before we can go forward without her? for example can we give her to Dec of 2007 to get her paper work to the atty, if she does not submitt it my that due date checks will be cut, and she will not get back any money that she may have claimed that she put out for the properties.

Only the Surrogate can set an enforceable deadline.
