A small estate is a compilation of personal property valued at under $80,000 (as of 2023) and devoid of any real property, such as houses or land. In such instances, the appropriate procedure involves filling out a probate form called a small estate affidavit, which is then submitted to the probate court. Once the small estate affidavit is filed and approved by the court, heirs can gather the deceased’s assets. The probate court process is streamlined in the case of a small estate, requiring minimal proceedings.
