Guidance during loss

Small Estates

At Boyette Law, PLLC, we are committed to finding the most efficient strategies for transferring assets to heirs tailored to each unique situation. Not every client needs to open  a full estate in North Carolina. We offer a complimentary phone consultation to assess whether one of the following small estate options can help you minimize legal expenses:

1. Year’s Allowance for Surviving Spouses and Minor Children
2. Affidavit of Collection, Disbursement, and Distribution
3. Summary Administration for Surviving Spouses
4. Administration by Clerk of Superior Court
5. Probate Without Qualification of a Personal Representative

Small estates typically have defined monetary thresholds and asset types that lend themselves to streamlined probate transfers. Furthermore, certain options may present varying degrees of liability for the filer. These alternatives not only expedite the distribution process but also reduce administrative costs.

Contact us today to determine if a small estate option is the best choice for your needs.
