Affidavit In Lieu Of Administration {PC-212}

PC-212 - AFFIDAVIT IN LIEU OF PROBATE OF WILL/ADMINISTRATION. This form may be used to settle a decedent’s estate using the small estates procedure under C.G.S. section 45a-273. The small estates procedure may be used only if both of the following conditions are met: (a) the decedent had no solely owned real estate and (b) the total value of all of the decedent’s personal property does not exceed $40,000. The small estates procedure is a simplified method of settling an estate that avoids formal probate proceedings. Under the procedure, the decedent’s assets may be used to: (a) pay the decedent’s funeral expenses and the expenses of administering the estate, pay claims associated with the decedent’s last illness or other claims that the decedent owed at the time of death or (b) reimburse a person who paid expenses or claims from nonprobate assets. Any assets remaining after payment of expenses and claims are then distributed to the decedent’s heirs or beneficiaries. The petition must be filed in the court for the probate district where the decedent resided. Attach a copy of the decedent’s death certificate (with the social security number redacted). Attach PC-212A, Request for Order of Distribution, if (a) assets exceed expenses and claims or (b) a person who paid expenses or claims with nonprobate assets waives reimbursement. Also file Confidential Information Sheet, PC-212CI, with the decedent's confidential social security number. For further information, see C.G.S. sections 45a-273, 45a-365, 17b-95 and 18-85b and Probate Court Rules of Procedure, section 30.12. Type or print in ink. Use an additional sheet, or PC-180, if more space is needed. www.FormsWorkflow.com
