What Is Simple Probate?

Simple probate is a streamlined legal process for transferring assets after someone passes away. Simple probate options apply in situations with limited assets or minimal conflict among heirs. Compared to formal probate, simple probate reduces court involvement, paperwork and overall timeline.

Transfer by Affidavit

Transfer by affidavit applies to small estates under Wisconsin’s statutory limit. Transfer by affidavit allows beneficiaries to collect assets without opening a full probate case. A properly completed affidavit gives financial institutions authority to release funds or transfer property directly.

Informal Probate

Informal probate involves limited court supervision while still appointing a personal representative to manage the estate. This option works best when heirs agree on asset distribution and no disputes exist. Informal probate moves efficiently while still following legal requirements.
