Petition for Representation of a Probate Estate's Insolvency and Request

An insolvent estate is one whose assets are insufficient to pay its debts, taxes, and administrative expenses. As a consequence of its insolvency, its heirs or beneficiaries will receive nothing (exception: unless Decedent's surviving spouse or children are awarded a family allowance, which takes priority over creditors).

The following form is a complaint that adopts the ýnotice pleadingsý format of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure, which have been adopted by most states in one form or another.
