<P class=MsoNormal>Perhaps a silly question, but here goes.<o:p></o:p></P>
<P class=MsoNormal><o:p></o:p> </P>
<P class=MsoNormal>If I am opening probate for the sole purpose of transferring
real property, and all other assets pass outside probate, must I still obtain an
EIN for the estate? No bank account will be opened for the estate.
The decedent’s estate is not taxable. Is there any reason the estate will
actually need an EIN?<o:p></o:p></P>
