Purpose and intent

    • Executors, personal representatives, trustees, guardians, and other fiduciaries
    • Beneficiaries and heirs
    • Attorneys and fiduciary professionals (e.g., estate planners, trust officers)
    • Probate and surrogate courts or equivalent tribunals
    • Financial institutions and custodians involved in estate/trust administration
