My mother passed away May 2023. She had 0 property and 0 cash. I did not get an executor of estate due to 0 assests. I did get a PETITION/ORDER TO DISPENSE WITH ADMINISTRATION (Surviving Spouse/Children/Preferred Creditor) for from Commonwealth of Kentucky Court of Justice to cash her last year tax return. I never thought about this years return. Do I REALLY have to get an executor status before a judge to cash a $1300.00 federal and 1,000.00 state returns? If I do can I just not file since it is a return? I would rather no than to have to go to court.
