Having a North Dakota Small Estate Affidavit will mean that the long wait, particularly that of the probate procedure, will be avoided altogether. But there are specific criteria which must be taken into account before any small estates can be collected. These criteria will depend on the state you are living in; the criteria for North Dakota say that:

• You can only file the document a minimum of thirty days after the individual passes away;
• That there is a limit on the value of small estate. In North Dakota any small estate should not exceed the value of more than fifty thousand dollars. This is the overall maximal value and these numbers take into consideration the entire estate;
• If the deceased had a safety deposit box, the person filing the form can get legal access to this box only to look for documentation concerning wills or instructions post death;
• The affidavit should sign and this signature needs to be notarized.
