How this calculator works
Available resources = cash + expected receipts. Obligations = debts + administration expenses + taxes + reserve. Liquidity surplus = resources − obligations.
Professional verification required. This is an informational worksheet, not a legal conclusion. Verify governing law, court rules, fee agreements, facts and any applicable exceptions before acting.
Questions attorneys ask
Does the worksheet determine estate tax owed?
No. Enter tax obligations based on separate tax analysis.
Does a surplus mean distributions are authorized?
No. Creditor priorities, probate rules, restricted assets and fiduciary duties require review.
