Tracking income from estate property
Property income needs a dated trail from payer to estate account.
Rent, parking, reimbursements, and sale-related receipts can look similar in a bank feed.
Record the source, period covered, property, and deposit account for each receipt.
What to keep with the file
Record the source, period covered, property, and deposit account for each receipt.
What to gather
- The source documents closest to the transaction
- A dated list of what happened after death
- Statements, invoices, or correspondence that explain the entries
Who usually handles what
- Ian can organize the tax reporting question and the supporting records.
- An estate attorney should address authority, title, and beneficiary rights.
