Small Estate Heirship Affidavit for Estates under 100,000

Small Estates General Summary: Small Estate laws were enacted in order to enable heirs to obtain property of the deceased without probate, or with shortened probate proceedings, provided certain conditions are met. Small estates can be administered with less time and cost.Â If the deceased had conveyed most property to a trust but there remains some property, small estate laws may also be available.Â Small Estate procedures may generally be used regardless of whether there was a Will.Â In general, the two forms of small estate procedures are recognized:
1.Â Â Â Small Estate AffidavitÂ -Some States allow an affidavit to be executed by the spouse and/or heirs of the deceased and present the affidavit to the holder of property such as a bank to obtain property ofÂ Â the deceased. Other states require that the affidavit be filed with the Court.Â The main requirement before you may use an affidavit is that the value of the personal and/or real property of the estate not exceed a certain value.
2.Â Â Â Summary AdministrationÂ -Some states allow a Summary administration. Some States recognize both the Small Estate affidavit and Summary Administration, basing the requirement of which one to use on the value of the estate. Example: If the estate value is 10,000 or less an affidavit is allowed but if the value is between 10,000 to 20,000 a summary administration is allowed.
Utah Summary:
Under Utah statute, where the value of the entire estate subject to administration, less liens and encumbrances does not exceed $100,000, an interested party may, thirty (30) days after the death of the decedent, issue a small estate affidavit to collect any debts owed to the decedent.

He is not required to see to the application of the personal property or evidence thereof or to inquire into the truth of any statement in the affidavit. If any person to whom an affidavit is delivered refuses to pay, deliver, transfer, or issue any personal property or evidence thereof, it may be recovered or its payment, delivery, transfer, or issuance compelled upon proof of their right in a proceeding brought for the purpose by or on behalf of the persons entitled to it. In such event, in addition to recovering the property, the person to whom an affidavit is delivered shall, in the discretion of the court, be liable for damages to the claimant for an amount up to three times the value of the personal property plus costs of suit and reasonable attorneys' fees. Any person to whom payment, delivery, transfer, or issuance is made is answerable and accountable therefor to any personal representative of the estate or to any other person having a superior right.
Amended by Chapter 226, 1983 General Session

(d) that the personal representative has sent a copy of the closing statement to all distributees of the estate and to all creditors or other claimants of whom the personal representative is aware whose claims are neither paid nor barred and hasfurnished a full account in writing of administration to the distributees whose interests are affected.
