The next few weeks
Take inventory of the estate's assets
List everything they owned individually (not jointly): bank accounts, investments, real estate, vehicles, valuables, business interests, and personal property of significant value. Note approximate value and where the item or account is held. The court will want a formal inventory later.
What you'll need
- Account statements
- Deeds and titles
- Recent appraisals or value estimates
