Informal Accounting Checklist
Checklist for filing an informal accounting with receipts and releases from all beneficiaries.
All beneficiaries must agree — and sign releases.
Informal accounting is faster than judicial settlement, but only works when every beneficiary cooperates. You'll need receipts and releases from all parties. We can help coordinate this.
When do you need this form?
