Note:
The Court is prohibited by law (Sec. 1211 of the Estates and Protected
Individuals Code [EPIC]) from providing legal advice and completing forms. This
item provides general information concerning the preparation of an account form
and may be useful as a guide. If you have any questions, consider contacting an
attorney for assistance.

1. The
completed form has to include the beginning and ending dates of your accounting

filing the necessary paperwork on July 1. Your accounting period would be from
July 1 through June 30th.

completing the income and expenses columns, make sure you indicate where the
money comes from (i.e. Interest from Credit Union Account #00000).

all disbursements – i.e., any money or property used or paid out from the estate
during the accounting period, including distributions to heirs, devisees and
beneficiaries. Include specific disbursements (i.e. medical, utilities, fees,
