The Missouri Affidavit For Collection of Small Estate is a legal document used by an heir or personal representative of an estate to collect assets from the deceased person’s estate. The affidavit is filed with the probate court to provide evidence of the heir’s or personal representative’s legal right to collect the assets. The affidavit includes information about the deceased person, the heirs or personal representatives, and the assets to be collected. There are two types of Missouri Affidavit For Collection of Small Estate: the Form 4 Affidavit and the Form 5 Affidavit. The Form 4 Affidavit is used when the deceased person left a will and the heirs or personal representatives are listed in the will. The Form 5 Affidavit is used when the deceased person did not leave a will and the assets are being distributed according to Missouri’s intestate succession laws. In either case, both affidavits must be signed by the heirs or personal representatives, and witnessed by two disinterested parties.
