Also, there are some assets that cannot be transferred using an affidavit. For example, bank and financial accounts cannot be transferred using this affidavit. A probate is usually needed if there are bank or financial accounts that one cannot access.
If you're looking for a simple way to get a deceased person's property and you qualify to use a small estate affidavit, you should use it. The process is quick and relatively painless. For example, using a small estate affidavit for a bank account can be as simple as filling out a form and giving it to the bank.
A small estate affidavit can avoid a lot of the probate costs for the survivor handling the deceased person's estate. The small estate affidavit must show that the deceased's estate is worth $75,000 or less, the estate's assets cover any outstanding debts, and a few other requirements.
Complete the affidavit: Fill out the form with the decedent's information, a list of their assets and the names and addresses of all heirs or beneficiaries. Notarize the affidavit: Sign the completed affidavit in front of a notary public. Some states might also require additional witnesses.
