The hard part of the probate is over. All that is left to close is the estate, which ends the probate process and legally releases the executor or administrator from their duties.

Next Steps:

To close the estate and be legally released from your role as executor or administrator:

1. Compile an accounting document detailing all financial transactions involving the estate.
2. Submit a formal request, along with the accounting, to the probate court.
3. Await approval from the court, which signifies the official closure of the estate and your release from executor duties.
