What is Informal Probate?
If the decedent died with or without a will, and owned personal property with a net value of more than $100,000, or owned real property, then Informal Probate may be the appropriate method to handle the estate. This is a court process that transfers title of property after payment to creditors. With an Informal Probate, it is usually possible for the court to handle this proceeding without any hearings. An Informal Probate usually has the advantage of speed and simplicity.
Informal probate is the administration of the decedent’s estate, intestate (without a will) or testate (with a will), without the exercise of continue supervision by the Court. Informal administration proceedings are circuit court proceedings under probate jurisdiction and administered by the Probate Registrar.
