Small Estate Affidavits
Client Goals: Collect estate assets quickly without opening a formal probate case.
Case Summary: A surviving spouse needed to collect a bank account and personal property from an estate valued under the Texas small estate threshold, with no real property involved. We prepared a small estate affidavit — the fastest and least expensive path to collecting estate assets when the estate qualifies — and the assets were transferred without opening a probate proceeding.
