The Wyoming small estate affidavit, or ‘Affidavit of Collection of Estate Assets’, is a form that may be used to shorten the process for settling an estate of a deceased person in Wyoming. In order to use this process, however, certain conditions must be met, including the following:

• the person filling out the form must be a successor of the decedent
• the value of the estate may not exceed $200,000
• 30 days must have passed since the death of the decedent;
• a certified death certificate must be attached;
• there are no other successors with a right to the property
• there is no application pending for the appointment of a personal representative

Once these conditions are met, the person filling out the form may use the form to collect the property of the decedent from third parties.
