Hi all, my grandma passed away without a will. My mom is my grandma’s only child. After my grandma passed, we opened probate with my mom as administrator so that we could then open an estate account and deposit a check which was made out to the estate.
Now, we are looking to finish that probate process. I understand that we can either file an accounting with the court, or enter into a “family settlement agreement.” Because we’re all on good terms and there are no disagreements about assets (my mom inherits the small amount of money), we think the agreement would be easier. Presumably I can just use one of the draft agreements online and tailor it to this circumstance.
I am also familiar with the Rule 10.6 Status Report Form. So my question is this: do we simply file a 10.6 form and the agreement with the court? Is that it? Am I missing something?

Thank you!
