I am the appointed executor of the estate and would like to inform the court that no distribution of assets will occur due to specific circumstances of the estate. [Provide a brief summary of the estate, the deceased's full name, and the date of death.] The purpose of this letter is to request the court's approval for the closing of the estate without distribution to any beneficiaries or heirs. This decision has been made in accordance with the relevant provisions of the California Probate Code. [Explain the specific circumstances or reasons why no distribution is taking place. For example:] 1. Insufficient Assets: After a thorough review of the estate's assets, it has been determined that the value of the remaining assets is insufficient to cover outstanding liabilities, expenses, and taxes, if any. 2. Creditor Claims: All valid and outstanding creditor claims have been resolved and paid, leaving no remaining debts against the estate. 3. No Known Beneficiaries: Despite diligent efforts to locate potential beneficiaries or heirs, no individuals entitled to a share of the estate have been identified. Extensive searches, including publication of the required legal notices, have resulted in no further leads. [If applicable, mention any court-approved costs or fees, estate administration expenses, and the details of any other relevant documentation attached.] In consideration of the above circumstances, I humbly request that the court grants the final order for the closure of the estate without distribution. Enclosed with this letter, please find a proposed Order of Final Distribution with no Distribution, as well as all supporting documentation required by this court. I affirm that the information provided in this letter is accurate and true to the best of my knowledge and belief.
