Probate Division—SMALL ESTATES (SEB)
When a person dies after April 26, 2001, with assets having a gross value of
$40,000.00 or less,* a small estate proceeding may be opened to appoint a
personal representative, pay claims, and make distribution of estate assets.
You can get help with opening a small estate by talking to or meeting with a
small estate specialist in the Legal Branch of the Probate Division. You may
also use the Probate Division’s Live Chat feature on the website.
* If the decedent died between January 1, 1981, and June 30, 1995, the value of the estate
cannot exceed $10,000.00. If the decedent died between July 1, 1995, and April 26, 2001,
the value of the estate cannot exceed $15,000.00.
FILING THE PETITION
The Petition for Administration of a Small Estate should be completed prior
to seeing a small estate specialist. The small estate specialist will then
review the petition to make sure that it complies with the law and will, if
necessary, assist with any corrections necessary for its completion. The
specialist will also determine whether sufficient documents verifying the
assets and/or liabilities have been supplied, whether further information is
needed before the Court can act on the petition, and whether publication is
required.
After the petition is accepted for filing, the small estate specialist will
prepare an order for the judge’s signature. In most cases, the order will
appoint a personal representative. The order may be a preliminary one,
directing publication against creditors or that the personal representative file
a Verification of Assets, or it may be a final order in which the Court decides
who is entitled to receive monies from the estate and what amounts each
individual will receive.
Publication is sometimes required in a small estate. Publication may be
required if (1) the decedent is survived by adult children and the assets are
valued at over $11,550.00, (2) the decedent is survived by heirs who are
not children and the assets are valued at over $1,515.00, or (3) the
decedent owned real estate in another jurisdiction. If publication is required
by the Court’s order, the Probate Division will send the Notice of
Appointment, Notice to Creditors and Notice to Unknown Heirs form to a
newspaper of general circulation selected by the personal representative.
The cost of publication is determined by the current rates charged by the
publisher. The notice states that the estate is being administered as a small
estate, announces the name of the personal representative, and gives
creditors and unknown heirs 30 days to file claims against the estate or to
object to the appointment of a personal representative. The notice is
Nov. 2014
published only once. The notice is mailed to all interested persons and to
known creditors by registered or certified mail, return receipt requested.
The personal representative must make diligent efforts to locate each
creditor. After the publication occurs and payment is made, the newspaper
will issue a proof of publication, which is filed with the small estate specialist
in the Legal Branch of the Probate Division.
ROLE AND DUTIES OF THE PERSONAL REPRESENTATIVE
The personal representative has an important role and is responsible for
ensuring that all assets are collected, all debts are paid, and distributions of
estate assets are made in accordance with the order of the Court. Very
often, the person appointed by the Court is one of the closest living relatives
of the decedent. The decedent's assets must be held separately from those
of the personal representative, and the personal representative must keep
accurate records of all estate expenses and payments.
CLOSING THE ESTATE
A final order signed by the Court will close the estate. The order gives
directions to the personal representative concerning the collection of estate
property, the payment of debts, and the distribution of the remaining estate
assets to heirs or legatees.
COMPENSATION
Persons, including attorneys, appointed to be personal representatives in
small estates are not entitled to be paid a commission for acting as personal
representatives. Attorneys for personal representatives in small estates can
receive up to $1,000.00 as a priority payment under D.C. Code, sec. 20-
906(a)(3) depending on the size of the estate and other priority payments.
AFTER-DISCOVERED ASSETS
If assets are discovered after a Final Order has issued, a petition for
administration of a small estate, marked “Re-Open” should be filed.
