Step 9 - The Estate Accounts

What are Estate Accounts?

​

Estate accounts is a detailed report of the financial information about the estate that you have collected throughout the administration.


You will need to account for every penny and so it is important that the information is correct. Estate accounts give a complete picture of how an estate is made up and how it has been dealt with. As such it provides an invaluable source of reference and will help deal with any queries that can arise after the administration has been completed.
