Received by the
Commissioner of Accounts

The foregoing will be printed on page four, and positioned so that when
folded for filing this information will be discernible.

(c) The court or clerk shall upon request furnish each fiduciary with
a copy of the order appointing such appraisers.

(d) The court or clerk thereof shall provide the fiduciary with a list
of instructions (which may be printed on the form or forms supplied for
making such inventory or inventory and appraisement) which shall be sub-

as follows:
INSTRUCTIONS TO FIDUCIARIES AND APPRAISERS

File this Inventory in duplicate with the Commissioner of Accounts
within four months after qualification.

Assets should be clearly identified and listed in reasonable detail as of
date of death if a decedent’s estate, and if not, as of date of qualifica-
tion. It is not necessary to list each article of personal effects and
household property separately; however, if an article is specifically
mentioned in the will or is of unusual value, it should be listed sep-
arately. Make, model, and year of motor vehicle should be given. State
name of bank or banks and sums on deposit therein. A promissory
note should be described by maker’s name and balance due thereon and
bonds and shares of stock by usual description. Give issue or maturity
date of United States Bonds. If an unincorporated business or in-
terest therein, is included among the assets, the name and location of
the business should be given.

The value of the items listed under “Estate Property” should total
the aggregate amount stated in the Certificate of Fiduciary and should
include all of the assets, real and personal, over which the fiduciary
has supervision and control.

“Other Assets of Which Fiduciary Has Knowledge” should include all
assets not already listed under “Estate Property” that are subject
to debts or demands against the estate.

When appraisers are appointed, the values determined by such ap-
praisers should be listed on the inventory in the column headed
“Value”. If appraisers are not appointed, the fiduciary shall deter-
mine the value of each item listed on the inventory.

The fiduciary may retain expert assistance in determining values
reported herein and reasonable expense incurred for such assistance
may be allowed as a cost of administration.

(e) Such other instructions not inconsistent with the foregoing as
court having jurisdiction deems appropriate may be included with
instructions set forth above. Such forms as may be required shall be
for as other books and stationery used for public records.
