Disposition Without Administration

What is Disposition Without Administration?

Disposition Without Administration is a type of informal probate estate administration for very small estates.  This very special type of administration when the decedent's personal property is needed to pay for funeral expenses or final medical bills.   In this case, a person would apply to the Circuit Court, Probate Division, to release the assets to pay these particular bills.

Do I need an attorney to request a Disposition Without Administration?

No, this is a very informal proceeding, and you can work directly with the Clerk of the Circuit Court, Probate Division to file a request for Disposition Without Administration proceedings, as well as the local law library.
