This solution, in many cases, would be notably less time-consuming than finding and working with a conventional law firm to draft the entire document. When making the document it will be important to have important details on hand, such as a list of the property that will be distributed and its fair market value.
Making a Small Estate Affidavit is usually easy to do; however, you may still need advice. The answer will vary depending on whom you approach, but often some lawyers will not even agree to review a document that they did not work on. An easier approach worth consideration is to go through Rocket Lawyer network of attorneys. By signing up for a Premium membership, you have the ability to request advice from an attorney with relevant experience or pose additional questions about your Affidavit. We're always here to help.
The cost of finding and working with a traditional legal provider to make a Small Estate Affidavit might total anywhere between two hundred and one thousand dollars, depending on where you are and how complicated it is.

It depends. Certain states require that a Small Estate Affidavit be notarized, but others may only require that it be signed "under penalty of perjury." Ask a lawyer or check with the probate court in the county where the deceased was a resident for more information regarding your state's notary requirements.
