WHAT IS THE PROCESS AND COST TO OBTAIN A SMALL ESTATE AFFIDAVIT?

Terry Lynn Garrett
Answered by attorney Terry Lynn Garrett
Estate Planning lawyer at The Garrett Law Firm, PLLC
It sounds as though you need to take the Will to a local probate attorney and present it for probate.  A Small Estate Affidavit can only be used if there is no Will and if the person left no more than a home, personal possessions worth no more than $60,000 and other assets (such as bank accounts) worth no more than $75,000.  Some courts require that the heirs be the surviving spouse or minor children.

How can I put my father’s property and vehicles in my name?

David L. Leon
Answered by attorney David L. Leon
Estate Planning lawyer at David L. Leon, P.C.
The answer depends on what property your father had. If it is just vehicles, then you can use the vehicle title forms. If there are bank accounts, then you would likely use a small estate affidavit.

It would be very difficult to successfully make such a claim unless there was an agreement that he would pay you.
