Long enough to change the will, the title to property, and the beneficiary forms.
Seriously, I've never heard of one. Doesn't mean there isn't one.
The happy couple still needs to set up their estate well to benefit from both exemptions, but most competent estate planning attorneys should be able to advise on how to do that.
There are minimum timeframes for spousal SS benefits I think.
