Is there a time limitation for the existence of an estate?

[Thelawaddict]

Is there a time limitation for the trustee to distribute all the assets and close out an estate?

Or an estate can technically last forever?

It can depend on the complexity of the estate, how large, type of assets in the estate........
etc.

The time limit is set by state statute and type of trust.

You can see an attorney and ask him or her, or inform and educate yourself:
