I think you've just answered your own question on how long this can drag on.
C does not have to worry about HDB at all. It's all driven from the probate side.
To be frank, I'm facing a somewhat similar situation. My mom willed her flat solely to my brother who is a known spender. So to prevent my brother from selling n becoming homeless, as Executor, I will delay the process as much as possible.

Thanks for quoting the section. That dumb act does care what happens after probate is granted.
In another simple case, I started to apply for LOA more than 1 year after death and got LOA more than 1 year after application. Now slightly passed 5 years after obtaining LOA, I together with a co-administrator have still not distributed the estate as beneficiary did not ask for share of estate
So C just need to delay obtaining the probate as B is unlikely to force the issue nor has the means to?
But C is more concern what HDB will do if C delays obtaining the probate for no reason except to prevent B from squandering his share of proceeds from disposal.
