this Order, the Court will close this estate and terminate the Personal Representative’s appointment
without further accounting, notice, report, hearing or order.

If the administration of the estate is complete, no response is required. If the administration of the
estate is not complete, the Personal Representative or attorney may file a Response (JDF 970) with the

Neither the Personal Representative nor any other person is discharged from any liability to this estate,
the Court or any other person, except that sureties upon any bond posted in these proceedings shall be
released as to any claim arising after closure of this estate pursuant to this Order.
