Simplified Probate for Small Estates in Rhode Island

Simplified Probate for Small Estates in Rhode Island

Written by Dianne Rosell   
Last Updated December 15, 2008

In general, when someone dies, the estate must go through probate which can be a complicated and lengthy process. But many states provide less complicated options for smaller estates.

Rhode Island law provides for simplified probate when the value of the decedent's personal property less the value of tangible personal property does not exceed $15,000.  Any interested party my file a verified statement of the assets with the court.
