Small Estate Affidavits

Small estate affidavits are legal documents used to transfer the assets of a deceased person without going through probate court. They are typically used when the estate is small and does not require a full probate process. The affidavit must be filled out by someone who is familiar with the deceased's assets, such as an executor or family member. It must include information about the deceased's assets, debts, and any beneficiaries. Once completed, it is filed with the court and can be used to transfer property or funds to heirs or creditors.
