Avoiding Formal Probate

"AvoidingFormalProbate.com was started to help people who have recently been tasked with administrating a will yet are not sure how to do so. Our site is designed for small estates; one’s only with assets designated as Personal Property (examples include: cash, securities (stocks), automobiles, boats, coin collections, furniture etc.). The mentoring small estate administration service we offer our clients is the “Affidavit for the Collection of Personal Property” procedure. If the estate you are administering qualifies, we can most likely save you money, time and frustration. Our services are available in six states, Arizona, California, Colorado, Nevada and New Mexico and Texas. However, 21 states offer the Affidavit procedure and we will be expanding soon.

It is important to understand, we offer legal information based on written and published state statues and/or probate codes. Every effort is made to ensure the accuracy of the information and to clearly explain your options including suggesting hiring an attorney if appropriate.

Our professional background includes graduation in probate and trust administration from the University of California combined with practical experience in managing and closing probate and trust cases. For legal advice, you should consult an attorney. What we do is guide you through the process of small estate affidavit probate administration step by step. We take the information particular to the case in which you are involved and use the information to provide you with a step by step plan including all necessary state and other forms (with example generic filled out sample forms), to settle the estate in which you are in charge."
