Alaska Request to Close Formal Estate and Approve Distribution is a legal form used to transfer assets from a deceased individual's estate to their beneficiaries. This form is typically used when the estate is overseen by a court-appointed personal representative, who is responsible for administering the estate and distributing assets according to the terms of the deceased's will or the Alaska Probate Code. The form allows the personal representative to request the court's approval to close the estate and distribute the assets to the beneficiaries. There are three types of Alaska Request to Close Formal Estate and Approve Distribution: Final Account, Summary Account, and Distribution Only. The Final Account is used when the estate is complex and includes detailed accounting of all assets and liabilities. The Summary Account is used when the estate is simpler and includes a summary of all assets and liabilities. The Distribution Only is used when there are no assets or liabilities to account for.
