Summary
This Act amends 2306 of Delaware’s probate code as it relates to distribution of the decedent’s personal estate without the grant of letters by the Register of Wills when the decedent’s personal estate is valued at less than $30,000 (“the small estate affidavit”). This Act deletes the restriction that small estate affidavits must be issued exclusively by the Register of Wills. This Act is unanimously supported by the Registers of Wills of New Castle, Kent, and Sussex Counties.
