Arkansas does have a simplified probate process, but the requirements are strict. The deceased person’s estate must owe no money to creditors and be worth under $100,000.00. Also, it must have been at least 45 days since the deceased person passed away.
If there is a valid will, the rules in it are still used for distribution.
May title insurance companies will no longer accept a small estate affidavit. If real estate is involved, then a full probate is highly recommended.
