Navigating through the complexities of fiduciary responsibilities and estate handling after a person's death can feel like a daunting task for many. One critical piece in this process, for those managing estates within Wisconsin, is the understanding and submission of the Schedule CC form. This form, specifically designed for 2021, is a Request for a Closing Certificate for Fiduciaries by the Wisconsin Department of Revenue, aimed exclusively at estates, not trusts. It mandates the use of black ink and delves into detailed requirements including the decedent’s personal information, probate case specifics, and an exhaustive declaration of assets both probate and non-probate. Critical questions regarding the necessity of the certificate by the court, presence of a will, types of probate, previous interactions with tax authorities, and detailed inventory of assets shed light on the estate's fiscal footprint. Furthermore, it goes beyond to inquire about fiduciary fees, while part II extends its scope towards trusts, underlining the common thread of financial diligence and lawful adherence. The form differentiates clearly between estates and trusts, yet maintains a unified goal: to provide a clear, documented pathway for fiduciaries to officially close proceedings with the state's blessing, contingent upon stringent adherence to its guidelines.
