A California small estate affidavit, or Petition to Determine Succession to Real Property, is used by the rightful heirs to an estate of a person who died (the decedent). The total net value of the estate cannot be more than $184,500 for it to qualify under this process and bypass probate.
An affidavit or declaration signed under penalty of perjury at least 40 days after the death can be used to collect the assets for the beneficiaries or heirs of the estate. No documents are required to be filed with the Superior Court if the small estates law (California Probate Code Sections 13100 to 13116) is used.
The small estate affidavit can be used only if ALL of the following conditions apply: 1 The deceased person died WITHOUT A WILL. If there is a will, a small estate affidavit CANNOT be used whether the will has been offered for probate or not. 2 More than thirty (30) days must have passed since the date of death.
To prepare a small estate for an administrative hearing, the executor of the estate will need to file the will,a copy of the death certificate, and a small estate affidavit petition for the hearing with the Surrogate Court where the deceased lived.
