Small Estates Act

The Small Estates Act simplifies the process for settling the estates of individuals who have passed away and leave behind only a modest amount of assets. It allows heirs or beneficiaries to obtain a court order or legal authority to access and distribute the estate without going through a lengthy and complex probate process. This reduces costs and delays, making it easier for loved ones to manage the estate quickly and efficiently when the estate’s value is below a certain threshold set by law.
