An Arkansas small estate affidavit is used to collect the personal property of a person who died in situations where the person had an estate valued at less than $100,000. It cannot be filed until 45 days have elapsed since the death of the decedent.
Arkansas has a simplified probate process for small estates. To use it, an executor files a written request with the local probate court asking to use the simplified procedure. The court may authorize the executor to distribute the assets without having to jump through the hoops of regular probate.
Arkansas also places a five-year statute of limitations on debt collection. Debt older than five years does not have to be honored.
The estate executor must attach a copy and pay a $25 filing fee to file the affidavit in the probate court clerk's office. If the decedent owned property, a death notice and affidavit must be published in a local, widely-distributed newspaper within 30 days of the filing.
