FAQ
Complete the affidavit: Fill out the form with the decedent's information, a list of their assets and the names and addresses of all heirs or beneficiaries. Notarize the affidavit: Sign the completed affidavit in front of a notary public. Some states might also require additional witnesses.
The form is fairly straightforward and requires the following information: Name, address, and date of death of the decedent. Whether the deceased person was ever married. Names of the surviving heirs. Statement that the deceased did not leave a will. Statement that you are an heir under your state intestacy law.
What's Included in A Small Estate Affidavit? Provide the name of the person who died and the date of the death. State that the value of the assets in the estate is less than $50,000. State that at least 60 days have passed since the death. State that no application to appoint a personal representative has been granted.
However, small estate affidavits are meant to offer a simple alternative to probate, and many people may use them to claim property quickly and easily without having to involve a probate lawyer.
If there is no Will, an Intestate Administration proceeding is filed. The court will then appoint an Administrator and he or she will have all of the powers of an Executor.
Here are the steps you need to take to successfully write a general affidavit: Title your affidavit. Don't forget to list any relevant contact or identification information that you may need to include in the heading. Write your statement. Verify that your information is true. Finalize and notarize.
The plain meaning of “estate” — when applied to someone living or dead — is the collection of all that they own, or used to own, up to the time of their death. So by definition, every person who dies leaves behind an estate.
If there's a will without a named executor, the court will issue a Letter of Testamentary; if there's no will, the court will issue a Letter of Administration. Present either of these letters to the bank along with the death certificate to close the account.
