FAQ

Though the affiant is not legally required to have a lawyer, it is wise for the affiant to hire one. It may seem wasteful to hire a lawyer when an estate is small, but many of the same rules that govern the full blown Illinois probate process apply to the affidavit.

Thus, unless otherwise provided for by a specific supreme court rule or statutory authorization, an affidavit must be notarized to be valid. See Roth, 202 Ill.

Requirements for Filing First, the total value of the decedent's personal estate must not exceed $100,000, excluding real estate. Heirs or executors must ensure the decedent owned no real estate at the time of death. The affidavit must be completed and notarized by an heir or executor.

The heirship of a deceased person is determined through a document called an “Affidavit of Heirship”. This is a form that gives a detailed explanation of the heirs at law of the deceased person at the time of his/her death.

Write only about what you know or what you have seen. Do not include information that you have heard about or that you assume to be true. The language of the affidavit states that you are providing the information on your “personal knowledge” and this should be the standard that you use. Tell the truth.

How to fill out a small estate affidavit in Illinois Fill in your name and information in #1. Complete the information about the decedent in #2-4. Mark either #7a or #7b depending on what is true. Complete #9a to indicate the names of the spouse and children if any.
