How to fill out probate and/or trust administration:

1. Gather all necessary documents: Start by collecting important documents such as the deceased's will, trust documents, financial records, property deeds, and any other relevant paperwork. These will help in understanding the assets and liabilities involved in the administration process.

6. Distribute assets to beneficiaries: Once all outstanding debts and taxes have been settled, distribute the remaining assets to the beneficiaries according to the instructions laid out in the will or trust. Obtain receipts or releases from the beneficiaries to confirm that they have received their share.
