Small estate affidavit
(Bivins, R-Dixon; Demmer, R-Dixon) expands the small estate affidavit (SEA) statute to include much more detailed information about the known debts of the decedent. Requires the affiant to sign under a notary public to aid in the enforcement of the civil and criminal penalties for misusing a SEA. Syncs up the SEA and the Safety Deposit Act. It applies to estates in which the decedent's date of death is on or after January 1, 2015.
