Small Estate Certificate
Small Estate Certificate is the document you will receive if your application with the Superior Court of Justice is approved. This process is more streamlined and allows you to apply for a Small Estate Certificate when the value of the estate is less than $150,000. This certificate is issued by way of an application to the Court.
If your application for probate of a small estate is approved, the Court will issue a probate certificate known as a Small Estate Certificate. The certificate will give you the authority to manage and distribute the assets.
Vehicle only small estate. Sometimes it is possible to transfer vehicle to the sole beneficiary of the estate without probate. Most of the time it the spouse who is entitled to the vehicle.
Small bank balances only. Sometimes the financial institution will release small bank balances to the beneficiaries without requiring a probate from the Court.
