<p class="MsoNormal">Can anyone share with me the appropriate verbiage or form to use when we want to close a Probate with a Declaration of Completion – and yet hold it open solely for the purpose of completing the tax reporting? I can’t find the language
or form I used last time. Thanks in advance for sharing. <o:p></o:p></p>
