Common mistakes
Values at the wrong date
The form’s date-of-death values are for executors. A guardian uses the date of appointment.
Keepsakes on Attachment B
Leave out clothing, Bibles, family pictures and other items kept for their sentimental value.
Answering item 4
Its fee questions are only for the estate of a person who has died.
Property found after filing
The oath promises to amend at once. File the form again with Amended ticked and a written explanation attached.
More than 30 days late, you are in default. The clerk mails a notice, and you then have 30 days to file or show good cause. RSA 554:26-a (opens in a new tab)
After you file
The Circuit Court’s fee schedule (opens in a new tab) lists no fee for an inventory. Parties have 10 days to object. Probate Division Rule 105-A (opens in a new tab)
