When someone dies, the record of the decedent's death is put into the record by a death certificate. That is called, spreading the death of record in the case.
Keep patient and continue to try and contact your attorney. You may according to the Canons of Ethics, under these circumstance, end the relationship with your attorney, and then when that is done, find a replacement attorney.
The independent representative (executor or adminstrator) appeared in court to close the estate but that hearing was continued for some reason, probably because there remained unresolved issues or the representative did not have all of the necessary paperwork.
