Affidavit By Next Of Kin In Lieu Of Administration

AFFIDAVIT BY NEXT OF KIN IN LIEU OF ADMINISTRATION. This form from the Hunterdon County Surrogate’s Court is used when a person dies without a will (intestate), and the total value of their estate is $20,000 or less. This form allows the decedent’s next of kin to request the release of assets without the need for formal estate administration. It is designed for small estates where the heirs can identify and account for the assets left behind, such as bank accounts, vehicles, or real estate. The form collects key details about the decedent, including their name, date of death, residence, and known aliases, as well as information about the affiant (the person completing the affidavit), such as their relationship to the deceased and contact information. It also requires a complete list of surviving next of kin, including children from prior relationships, and any deceased children and their descendants. The affiant must provide a detailed inventory of the decedent’s assets, including account information, vehicle details, and property values. www.FormsWorkflow.com
