Washington Affidavit of Successor of Decedent (Small Estate) is a legal document used in the state of Washington to transfer the ownership and assets of a deceased person (the decedent) to the successor (the person inheriting the assets). This affidavit is used when the estate is small and, as such, does not require the services of a probate court. There are two types of Washington Affidavit of Successor of Decedent (Small Estate): the Small Estate Affidavit and the Personal Representative Affidavit. The Small Estate Affidavit is used when the decedent's estate is valued at less than $100,000 and does not require the appointment of a personal representative. The Personal Representative Affidavit is used when the decedent's estate is valued at more than $100,000 and requires the appointment of a personal representative. The Washington Affidavit of Successor of Decedent (Small Estate) must include the decedent's name, date of death, and the name of the successor. It must also list all the decedent's assets, including real estate, bank accounts, investments, and any other assets owned by the decedent. The affidavit must be notarized and signed by the successor and two witnesses who are over 18 years old. Once the affidavit is completed, it must be filed with the appropriate county clerk office. Filing fees may apply.
