Wyoming Executor and Estate Kit: the $400,000 Small Estate Route After 30 Days, First Month Checklist and Estate Ledger

Who it is for

Whoever is settling the estate of someone who lived in Wyoming. Filed with a county office. The original is filed (recorded) with the county clerk; holders pay or deliver once it's recorded.

Not the right fit if

The person didn't live in or own property in Wyoming, or a will contest or family dispute means you need an estate attorney. Not a form preparation or legal service.

Why it is different

• Sources, checked November 2026: Wyoming Judicial Branch: Small estates and summary distribution; Wyoming Judicial Branch form PPP 04, Testate Affidavit for Distribution of Personal Property (rev. March 2026); Wyoming 2023 Senate File 99 (enrolled act amending W.S. 2-6-112 and 2-6-114), Wyoming Legislature.
• 2 facts aren't stated on those pages, so the kit says so and links where to check.
