Re: no will need affidavit
As long as your mother's personal property, including the account are within the statutory limits, you can collect personal property by affidavit. You will need to determine if your mother's estate falls within the statutes for collection by affidavit.
Follow these links for more information about the affidavit. You should consult an attorney to verify that you may collect by affidavit. There may be other important issues and statutes to consider before collecting by affidavit.
