When you draw the drapes at nightfall, give them a gentle shake. This will remove any dirt and dust from the drapes. Shaking the drapes a little each night makes cleaning easier, as it removes unwanted dirt on a daily basis. Drapes, especially sheer drapes, built up mild amounts of dust even with regular shaking. If your drapes are looking a little dusty, dip a chamois cloth in warm water and run it over the drapes. Wring out the cloth thoroughly before running it against the drapes. Make sure to read the manufacturer's label before using cloth on the drapes. Some drapes may not respond well to certain types of materials. When vacuuming, use the upholstery brush or another detachable nozzle to give the drapes a light vacuuming. Set the vacuum for reduced suction when washing the drapes. If your vacuum cleaner does not have a reduced suction option, place a nylon sock over the nozzle before running it over the drapes.

summary: Give your drapes a gentle shake each night. Use some water if necessary. Provide a light vacuuming regularly.

Once the hearing or the required paperwork is complete, you must settle the estate by paying creditors, disbursing property, and closing the estate. To do so, you’ll need to obtain the following information:  An employer identification number from the IRS in order to handle taxes on behalf of the estate A list of the deceased person’s assets A list of all known creditors and the amounts of their claims A list of all other legal obligations required by your particular probate court You’ll need a bank account to use for estate purposes only. Having this account keeps estate assets and liabilities completely separate from your own, which is typically required by law. Before anything can be paid or distributed, you’ll need to have items of value appraised, generally by a licensed appraiser. This process will give you an accurate idea of the estate’s value, how much will be paid to creditors, and how much each heir will receive. Categorize each asset according to its exempt status.  Exempt assets are those items of property that under state law cannot be taken by creditors to pay off the decedent’s debts. These assets typically include real estate up to a certain value and a specific amount of personal property. Some assets fall outside of the probate estate because they specifically name a beneficiary to receive them upon the individual’s death. These assets might include 401(k) plans, life insurance policies, pensions, and joint bank accounts. Assets that fall outside of the estate altogether are also exempt assets. Non-exempt assets are those items of property which a creditor can claim in order to repay debts owed by the decedent. Do not include any exempt assets, including those assets that fall outside of the estate. The amount of the non-exempt assets will used first to pay the claims of creditors, in order of their priority. Any remaining non-exempt assets will be distributed to the heirs according to the will. You must evaluate creditor claims in accordance with the laws of your state and county. For valid claims, or those that are legitimate and can be verified, you will need to pay creditors promptly. This may require you to liquidate some assets, or reduce them to cash, if needed, in order to pay the bills.  Your state may have a designated period of time, or the “creditor’s claim period,” during which creditors can file their claims. You will need to wait until this period has passed before you distribute any assets that might otherwise go to a creditor.  If you doubt the validity of certain creditor claims, you may need to consult an attorney for advice. Estate taxes can be confusing, so it’s best to consult with an accountant who is experienced in handling these issues. Depending on the value of the estate, you may need to deal with both federal and state taxes. State laws vary considerably, but, in general, if the estate’s value is higher than a certain amount, you’ll have to file a state tax return in addition to a federal tax return. When the creditor’s claim period is over and you’ve paid all the estate’s outstanding obligations, you can get the court’s permission to begin distributing property to heirs. Your probate court may require you to mail additional notices to interested parties before you can close the estate. You should check with the court to find out if you are subject to any additional requirements. Once all of the estate’s obligations are paid, you can distribute remaining cash and property to heirs, as directed by the will and/or the court. Documentation is crucial, so be sure to get receipts for all of the property that you distribute. Keep accurate records in case you are asked to provide them to the probate court. When you have distributed all property, file any required documentation with your court. At this point, if everything is in order, the court will release you from your duties as executor of the estate. Once all assets are distributed to the appropriate heirs and financial obligations have been paid, you can close the estate. While the process of closing an estate may differ according to state law, certain actions must be taken in all states in order to properly close an estate. These actions include:  Prepare an accounting of the estate assets and how they were distributed, including any proceeds remaining in the estate bank account. File the accounting with the probate court. Assuming there are no outstanding or unusual issues, the judge will issue an order formally closing the estate. Close the estate bank account once all checks have cleared. This is typically the last step to take when closing out an estate.

summary: Gather relevant information. Open a bank account for the estate. Appraise and inventory all assets. Compute the value of the non-exempt estate assets. Pay creditors. Handle the estate’s tax obligations. Get permission from the court to distribute remaining assets. Distribute remaining assets as designated by the will. Follow up with the probate court. Close the estate.
