Hey Leon,
I was recently the executor for my mother's estate. I can't tell you what is "usual" as I've only done this once. However, it can be a slow process depending on the size of the estate. It took me around 17 months, but that included the cleaning out and sale of a property.
Nothing can happen until the death certificate is issued and that took 3 months, (you cant even get a copy of the will until this is issued), then you have to get a grant of probate, another 3 months. So for me it took around 6 months just to get the ball rolling.
I'd certainly try to find out who is the executor and get a status update.
