Connecticut Sample Letter for Complaint to Close Estate — Itemization [Your Name] [Your Address] [City, State, Zip Code] [Email Address] [Phone Number] [Date] [Probate Court Address] [City, State, Zip Code] Subject: Complaint to Close Estate — Itemization Dear [Probate Court Name], I am writing to file a formal complaint regarding the handling of the estate of [Deceased's Full Name], probate case number [Case Number]. This complaint is being made based on multiple concerns I have identified during the administration of the estate. Having analyzed the itemization of the estate, I would like to bring your attention to the following issues that need immediate attention and resolution: 1. Incomplete Inventory: The initial inventory submitted by the executor fails to include several valuable assets and properties owned by the deceased. I believe this intentional omission has resulted in an inaccurate valuation of the estate, potentially affecting the distribution of assets amongst the beneficiaries. 2. Undervalued Assets: Upon further inspection, it has become evident that certain assets included in the estate's inventory have been undervalued. A professional appraisal of these assets would provide a more accurate representation of their worth and ensure fair distribution amongst beneficiaries. 3. Lack of Communication: The executor has consistently failed to provide timely updates and respond to inquiries from beneficiaries. Their lack of communication has obstructed transparency and hindered the efficient administration of the estate. 4. Mishandling of Assets: It has come to my attention that the executor has not exercised the appropriate duty of care in managing and protecting the estate's assets. Instances of negligence include failure to maintain adequate insurance coverage, resulting in damage and loss of property value. 5. Questionable Expenses: The estate's financial records reveal several expenses that lack proper documentation or justification. While certain expenses may be legitimate, the lack of transparency raises concerns regarding potential mismanagement of estate funds. I kindly request a thorough investigation into these matters, aiming to rectify any inaccuracies, ensure transparency, and protect the rights of the beneficiaries. This complaint is not made with the intention to disrupt or delay the closing of the estate, but rather to highlight these issues and seek a fair resolution that abides by Connecticut probate laws. I have attached supporting documents, including previous communications with the executor, inventory reports, and other relevant information that may aid in your investigation. I am prepared to cooperate fully and provide any further clarification or assistance required during this process. Furthermore, I trust that the Probate Court will give this complaint due consideration and take the necessary actions to protect the integrity and fairness of estate administration. Thank you for your attention to this matter. Sincerely, [Your Name]
