If a PR in a probate case states there are no assets to inventory does the court require an accounting?

Answer 1

It will depend on the laws of your state, and the procedure of your probate court.

If there were no assets of the estate whatsoever, I question why it was necessary to open a probate case in the first place. Seems to me like a waste of money.

Probate provides for the transfer of assets, (money, property, etc) to one's heirs upon death. If there was NO money, NO property, etc, then it should not have been necessary to open probate.

I would check with the clerk of your probate court on the requirements for that state and court.
