The Rhode Island Notice To Beneficiary is a legal document required by the state of Rhode Island when a person dies and leaves behind assets in his or her estate. The Notice is sent to all named beneficiaries in the will, informing them of their rights to the assets and how to make a claim for them. The Notice also outlines the executor’s responsibilities and the probate process. There are two types of Rhode Island Notice To Beneficiary: the Notice of Administration and the Notice of Distribution. The Notice of Administration is sent to all named beneficiaries to inform them that an estate administrator has been appointed and that an inventory of the estate’s assets and liabilities will be made. The Notice of Distribution is sent to all named beneficiaries after the probate process is complete and the estate has been distributed. It informs the beneficiaries of their rights to the assets, the amounts they will receive, and the date by which they must make a claim.
