Probate - Estate Administration

If you are the executor or administrator of an estate, remember the following when closing out the estate:

1. Make sure all deeds are properly titled to the beneficiary/ies.
2. Make sure all final forms are submitted to register of wills, including final status report; any formal accounting; or family settlement agreement.
3. Make sure final approvals are obtained regarding inheritance tax filings.
4. Make sure you close out the estate account after everything is finalized.

This is a helpful checklist of things that often get overlooked. However, it would be to your benefit to consult with a professional probate attorney. We have that expertise. Contact us at www.ythlaw.com
