It depends on a variety of factors. The Illinois threshold for use of a Small Estate Affidavit is $100,000. However, your circumstances may still allow you to avoid probate and use the Small Estate Affidavit for only some of the assets.

Feel free to call me to discuss this further. I won't charge for a phone call that walks you through this.
