Tips for filling out form PR-1815

When completing form PR-1815, pay special attention to these less obvious sections:

Item 1

Detailed Description

When describing the items of property or monies received, be specific about each item. Include any unique identifiers or account numbers for financial assets and detailed descriptions for physical items. This ensures clarity and avoids disputes or confusion later.
Item 2

Specify Distribution Type

Clearly indicate whether this receipt represents a partial or full distribution of your share of the estate. If it’s a partial distribution, it’s important to keep track of what has been received so far and what is still expected.
Item 3

Claim Clarification

If this receipt is satisfying a claim, specify the claimant's name and the exact amount with clear precision. Ensure that the claim has been validated and all related documentation is complete before signing off as fully satisfied.
Item 4

Trust Identification

If distributing funds to a trust, clearly identify the trust using its formal name and any relevant identification numbers. This ensures that there is no ambiguity about which trust should receive the distribution.

What to do after filing form PR-1815

1

If applicable, proceed with the filing of any subsequent forms or documentation required by the probate court to close the estate officially.

Ensure that any taxes associated with the estate distribution, such as inheritance or estate taxes, are properly addressed and paid following the state's guidelines.
