[Your Name] [Your Address] [City, State, ZIP Code] [Date] [Probate Court or Name of Judge] [Address] [City, State, ZIP Code] Re: Estate of [Deceased's Full Legal Name] Probate Case No. [Case Number] Dear [Probate Court or Judge's Name], I am writing this letter in order to formally request the closing of the estate for the above-referenced case, with no distribution of assets. As the personal representative of the estate, I have diligently carried out my fiduciary duties and fulfilled the necessary responsibilities to administer the estate in accordance with the applicable laws of the state. I hereby confirm that all valid claims against the estate, including those of the decedent's creditors, have been fully satisfied. A comprehensive review of the financial records, account statements, and receipts related to the estate's assets and debts has been conducted, and no outstanding liabilities or obligations remain. Furthermore, I have successfully completed the final accounting for the estate, documenting all income, expenses, and distributions accurately and transparently. A copy of the final accounting, along with supporting evidence such as bank statements, invoices, and receipts, is included with this letter for your review. During the estate administration process, I have undertaken the necessary steps to locate any potential heirs or beneficiaries of the estate and have provided them with appropriate notice, inviting them to make a formal claim if they believe they are entitled to a share of the estate. However, no such claims or disputes have been raised by any parties involved. In light of the above, I respectfully request the court's approval to close the estate without the need for any further distributions. I have enclosed a proposed Order for Closing of Estate, which outlines the necessary details for your consideration. I kindly request that you review and sign it, indicating your approval of the estate's closure. Please let me know if the court requires any additional information or documentation to finalize this matter. I am available and willing to provide any requested materials promptly to facilitate a smooth and efficient resolution. Thank you for your attention to this matter. Your cooperation and assistance in closing the estate without distribution will be greatly appreciated. Sincerely, [Your Name] [Your Title, if applicable] [Contact Information]
