Affidavit For Collection Of Personal Property Of Decedent (After 1-1-12) {E-203B}

AOC-E-203B - AFFIDAVIT FOR COLLECTION OF PERSONAL PROPERTY OF DECEDENT (For Decedents Dying On Or After Jan. 1, 2012). This form is used in North Carolina for a simplified estate process that allows an authorized individual—known as the collector by affidavit—to collect and manage the personal property of a deceased person without the need to open a full estate. This form is applicable only for decedents who died on or after January 1, 2012, and when the total value of the decedent’s personal property (after subtracting liens, encumbrances, and certain allowances) does not exceed specific thresholds—typically $20,000, or $30,000 if the surviving spouse is the sole heir or devisee. The form can be used whether the decedent died with a will (testate) or without one (intestate), provided that at least 30 days have passed since the date of death and no personal representative has been appointed or applied for. The affiant—who may be an heir, creditor, executor, devisee, or the public administrator—must identify all persons entitled to inherit from the estate, provide a detailed preliminary inventory of the decedent’s property, and swear that they are qualified under the law to act. www.FormsWorkflow.com
