It is an accounting procedure whereby the estate administrator reports to the estate beneficiaries the following information: br br 1. assets received br br 2. management of the assets br br 3. the money received br br 4. the money spent and br br 5. the money left over to be divided among the beneficiaries. br br br Why is it Important? br br The passing of accounts is needed to protect both the beneficiaries of an estate and the administrator who manages the affairs of the estate for the following reasons: br br 1. The beneficiaries need to know the following: br br a. how much distribution he or she is to receive br br b. ensure the amount of the distribution he or she receives is correct and br br c. ensure the administrator of the estate has acted honestly and in the best interest of all beneficiaries. br br 2. The administrator on the other hand wants to be certain that the beneficiaries are satisfied and receives the amounts that are due to them. br br This will require the work of a professional and we have the experience and expertise to do the necessary work. br br We look forward to hearing from you.
