THE OUT-OF-COURT EXECUTOR · APPENDIX D2

Estate Position at a Glance

These worksheets give executors, beneficiaries and advisers a shared picture of the estate’s assets, available cash, outstanding bills and costs of delay. They aid understanding while administration continues; they do not replace formal estate accounts.

Include estate assets only, identify estimates and check the figures against your records. This worksheet does not decide whether money can safely be distributed.

Your entries stay on this page and are not sent to Human Law. They are not saved when you close or refresh it. Use Print / Save as PDF to keep a copy.

Optional: explore Arthur’s hypothetical estate. This replaces the worksheet entries; you will be asked to confirm if you have already entered information.

2. Cash currently accessible

Identify the cash from section 1 that can actually be accessed now. Exclude funds not yet released. This is a subset of total assets, not extra money to add to section 1. Accessible cash is not necessarily available for distribution.
