Small Estates Affidavit Law
Do all children need to be listed in an affidavit as to heirs?
regarding an 'affidavit as to heirs'...must ALL children of deceased be listed? Sister-in-law wants my husband (her brother) to sign affidavit and it does NOT list the other two (adult) children. Her and her brother are on the mortgage note along with deceased dad. She says this will keep the estate from going to probate and disengage all current debt And this affidavit will also allow the other sister (one not listed on affidavit) to secure current company owned personally by deceased dad (not inc or llc or ...) to re-title company as an LLC - something doesn't smell right to me. The two are already on the mortgage, I don't see how this protects ANYONE. TY

Because the life insurance is under the 100,000.00, can I submit a Small Estate Affidavit because it is not going into the trust? If not what is it that I need to do?
