Small Estate Affidavit Near Round Rock, TX

Avoid a Lengthy Probate Process With a Small Estate Affidavit in the Round Rock, TX Area

A small estate affidavit, also called a small claims affidavit or small estate transfer, is a less expensive alternative to a full probate process which can be used by the heirs of a small intestate estate. In other words, when someone dies without a will and their estate is small and straight-forward enough that an official administration is not necessary, a small estate affidavit can save the heirs time and money. Contact Lefkowitz & Haire today to learn more about this cost-effective option and get started today. Legacy Estates & Trust assists clients in the Round Rock, TX area.

When Can You Get an Affidavit for Small Estate Transfers

  • Someone dies without a will, leaving less than $75,000 in property (excluding homestead and exempt property)
  • The value of their assets are greater than their total debts (excluding mortgages and exempt debts)
  • All heirs have been located and will sign the Small Estate Affidavit (or someone else with legal authority will sign on their behalf)
  • The only property left by the deceased was their homestead property and it will be inherited by surviving family members who resided on that property at the time the decedent died
