A Pennsylvania Small Estate Affidavit is a legal document that is used to transfer the assets of a deceased person in Pennsylvania upon their death. It is designed to allow the transfer of assets without the need for probate court proceedings, which can be costly and time-consuming. There are two types of Pennsylvania Small Estate Affidavit: the Small Estate Affidavit Without Administration and the Small Estate Affidavit With Administration. The Small Estate Affidavit Without Administration is used when the estate has less than $50,000 in assets and no real estate. The Small Estate Affidavit With Administration is used when the estate has more than $50,000 in assets, or if there is real estate involved. In both cases, the affidavit must be signed by all the legal heirs and must be accompanied by the death certificate of the deceased. The affidavit must also be filed with the Register of Wills in the county where the deceased lived.
