The Vermont Decree of Partial Distribution is a court order that outlines how a deceased person's estate is to be distributed to their heirs. It is usually issued by a court in the state of Vermont after a deceased person's will has been probated. The Decree of Partial Distribution details the specific assets that are to be distributed, such as real estate, personal property, bank accounts, and investments. It also outlines the heirs that are to receive the assets, as well as their respective shares. There are three types of Vermont Decree of Partial Distribution: simple distribution, multiple-party distribution, and beneficiary distribution. Simple distribution is when a deceased person's estate is distributed to a single beneficiary. Multiple-party distribution is when a deceased person's estate is distributed among multiple beneficiaries. Beneficiary distribution is when a deceased person's estate is distributed to a single beneficiary, but with multiple beneficiaries receiving partial shares.
