<p class="MsoNormal">I am preparing pleadings to open a probate for someone who did only online banking, so no paper statements have been found. We know that accounts existed, but not their value. The decedent did not own real estate, so we will not know about
their assets until letters testamentary are issued. My question is: how do I address solvency in the petition? My inclination is to tell the court we will not know the extent of the assets until letters are issued, ask for a non-intervention probate and indicate
that the court will be informed if the estate is insolvent. Any suggestions? Thanks in advance.<u></u><u></u></p>
