What happens on the probate process?

What is the name of your state? AZ

As a beneficiary, I was recently told the will was in probate and it would be four months before getting any funds. My question is: What is happening during the the probate process?
Why does it take as long when there are no issues with the will in hand.

A: Go to the courthouse and pay for a copy of the entire file.

A: Four months is a millionth of a microsecond in probate time.

Because Arizona is a large state with lots of decedents who also have estates that are being probated.
