Assemble the will, the document appointing the executor, the estate's account statements, and a signed statement from the executor identifying your entitlement and each amount released. Add correspondence explaining delays or holdbacks. Originals or certified copies, translated where needed, are preferable to summaries prepared for the immigration file.
Let the executor's paperwork speak for itself
Use the estate’s contemporaneous accounts alongside the executor’s explanation, so the distribution can be checked against actual transactions. If an account is still open or a property remains unsold, identify what evidence exists and what is missing. Confirm whether further records or acceptable alternatives are needed before filing rather than relying on an assumed later supplement. Preserve tax filings and valuations relevant to the source explanation.
Arrange the records so each dollar can be followed from its lawful origin to the enterprise's account and then to a specific supplier, lessor, or contractor. Draft agreements, signed resolutions, subscription documents, bank mandates and the business plan often disagree after a change like this. Use a dated ownership chart to explain the draft and signed agreements, without replacing the underlying records. Financial statements and filings establish the purchase price as a credible denominator for substantiality.
Control of a company account alone does not establish that its balance is personal capital.
