Minnesota Instructions — Affidavit for Collection of Personal Property (Small Estate — No Real Estate) is a legal document used in Minnesota to allow an individual (the "affine") to recover the property belonging to a deceased person (the "decedent") who has died without leaving a will. This document is used when the value of the estate is below a certain amount (generally $50,000) and does not include real estate. The affine must provide proof of the decedent's death, a list of all property to be collected, and a list of all creditors of the decedent. There are two types of Minnesota Instructions — Affidavit for Collection of Personal Property (Small Estate — No Real Estate): an Unsupervised Affidavit, and a Supervised Affidavit. An Unsupervised Affidavit is used when the affine believes that the estate has no creditors and no debts. A Supervised Affidavit is used when the affine believes that the estate has creditors and/or debts and the affine must submit the affidavit to a court for approval.
