Dear [Recipient's Name], I hope this letter finds you in good health and high spirits. I am writing to formally petition for the closure of the estate of [Deceased's Full Name], who resided in Fulton, Georgia, at the time of their passing. This request is made in accordance with the applicable laws and regulations governing estate administration in Fulton County. As the legally appointed executor/administrator of the estate, I have diligently fulfilled my responsibilities, including the payment of outstanding debts, distribution of assets, and resolution of any claims or disputes brought against the estate. I believe that all necessary duties have been completed, and that it is now appropriate to initiate the process of closing the estate. The key objective of this petition is to attain the court's approval for the final distribution of assets to the beneficiaries named in the Last Will and Testament of the deceased or to the rightful heirs determined by Georgia State Law in the absence of a will. I have attached a comprehensive inventory, accounting for all assets and liabilities, along with supporting documentation for your review. Additionally, I have compiled and attached all required tax returns, including federal, state, and estate taxes, which have been duly filed and settled. This ensures that all legal obligations related to tax matters have been fulfilled. With respect to notice to interested parties, I have provided public notice as mandated by Fulton County Probate Court and have duly notified all known creditors and potential beneficiaries. Subsequently, any assets, debts, or claims that may have been overlooked or unrecognized by the estate are deemed invalid, subject to the court's final determination. I kindly request that the court schedule a hearing to review this petition at the earliest convenience. I am available to provide any additional information or answer any questions that may be required during the process. Types of Fulton Georgia Sample Letter for Petition to Close Estate: 1.
