After updating the estate account and completing the final Inventory of Assets, it was time to complete the final accounting. As mentioned in the article Closing an Estate in a Formal Probate Process, the attorney sent me three schedules that made up the final account. With instructions to review the schedules, I began to look them over. During the review, the schedules were already organized by category. Additionally, provided values, presumably by the attorney, were on Schedule A and Schedule B. Since the attorney warned me that values would appear, this didn’t concern me. Also, although the categories surprised me a little, the attorney would explain the categories the next day. So, after my review, the task to complete the final accounting was ready to begin.
