Q: We are trying to wrap up a probate matter but have questions now that we have the receipt and release form.
If we are to get tax refund checks, could we ask for those to be sent in our names so that way we can just close out the estate account now and file the release, as we would like to avoid renewing the bond in April. Also, we estimated what we thought was in the bank account for the court when we started this process, but it turns out that the account had somewhat less than what we guessed. Will that be a problem? There are no disputes or disagreements among the distributees. Also, we just happened to find a will at this late stage -- we never knew one existed. Will that be a problem, or could it actually help
