What is inside - **Rhode Island Executor and Estate Kit.** An estate made up entirely of personal property worth $15,000 or less, not counting tangible personal property. Real estate in the person's name alone takes the estate out of this procedure. 30 days. After 30 days from the death, if no petition for letters has been filed. Sworn; a notary can give the oath. The statement is verified by oath or affirmation. Through a court office. Filed with the probate court on the court's form. Set by each probate court (Providence Probate Court: Petition for Voluntary Informal Administration). The statute has the statement filed on a form prescribed by the court, and Rhode Island's probate courts are run by each city or town; Providence's form cites 33-24-1, is sworn and has a notary block. Set by your probate court; ask the clerk. Small estate statement (voluntary administration): A verified statement filed with the probate court lets the affiant collect and pay out a small personal-property estate. The surviving spouse may file, and after debts and expenses the balance goes to the surviving spouse first. Two or more witnesses present at the same time, who sign in the testator's presence. Allowed. Per Nolo (citing R.I. Gen. Laws 33-7-26), the testator and witnesses sign an affidavit before a notary. Not recognized: a will needs witnesses, per Nolo's Rhode Island page (updated September 2025). A gift to a witness is void as to that witness (and anyone claiming through them), though the will stands and the witness can still testify to prove it (R.I. Gen. Laws 33-6-1, 2020 text on Justia). Assets, debts, payments and distributions; it compares the countable assets with $15,000, dates day 30 after the death and flags real estate in the person's name alone, which rules the route out. - **Rhode Island Small Claims Court Kit.** In Rhode Island, small claims (District Court, Small Claims) cover claims up to $5,000.
