Petition for Compulsory Accounting
Forces a fiduciary (executor, administrator, or trustee) to file an accounting with the court when they haven't done so voluntarily.

If you're filing this, things haven't gone smoothly.
Compulsory accounting means someone isn't fulfilling their duty to account for estate funds. This petition forces the issue — and it needs to clearly document why the court should intervene.
When do you need this form?
The executor or administrator hasn't filed an accounting and beneficiaries want one.
