Sample: Final Account and Attachments (Minn. PRO913 style) for the Estate of Eleanor M. Doe

Everything about this estate is made up except the format. Every figure below is produced by the ledger from ordinary entries (a house sold at a gain, dividends, the funeral bill, two distributions), and it balances to the penny. Yours would look like this, with your numbers.

Final Account and Proposal for Distribution

Estate of: Eleanor M. DoeDecedent (Deceased person)

Original   Amended   Supplemental

NOT the court form; modeled on PRO913 (State ENG 6/20), Minn. Stat. §§ 524.3-1001, 524.3-1003
Minnesota’s official forms are used whenever one is filed (Minn. Gen. R. Prac. 403(b)); transfer these figures onto PRO912 and PRO913.

Mark one. This draft covers the administration to date. When the estate is ready to close it is the Final Account, mailed to the distributees before the closing statement (Minn. Stat. § 524.3-1003) or filed with the petition for complete settlement (§ 524.3-1001).

My name is Daniel R. Doe, and I am the Personal Representative of the Estate. Below is a full, true, and complete list of the administration of the Estate, covering November 14, 2025 to August 31, 2026.

Assets at Date of Death [Amounts from Inventory (PRO912)]

Total Fair Market Value of Real Estate (from Inventory Attachment A)$410,000.00
Total Value of Stocks, Bonds, and Securities (from Inventory Attachment B)$186,320.44
Total Value of Mortgages, Notices, and Cash (from Inventory Attachment C)$60,740.17
Total Value of Miscellaneous Personal Property (from Inventory Attachment D)$74,300.00
Total Liens and Encumbrances (from all Inventory Attachments)$________
Total Net Assets at Date of Death (from Inventory)$731,360.61

The ledger records no encumbrances, so the net figure above equals the gross total until Inventory Attachment E is completed and this figure is reduced by hand.

Other Expenses of Administration$4,026.57
Total Decreases$170,601.87

Closing Costs, Maintenance and Selection, Attorney’s Fees and Expenses, and Expenses of Last Illness print $0.00 by design: the ledger records net sale proceeds instead of separate closing costs; family maintenance and statutory selections under Minn. Stat. §§ 524.2-403, 524.2-404 are completed by hand; attorney fees recorded as administration expenses are moved here by hand; and a last-illness bill recorded as a debt paid is moved here by hand. Payments Made on Mortgage, Contract for Deed, and Other Liens and Repayment of Advances also print $0.00 by design; the ledger tracks neither, and Attachment B itself carries no sub-table for either line.
