What's Included

Attorney-style Northern Mariana Islands Small Estate Affidavit (Affidavit of Successor in Interest). Drafted under the Commonwealth Superior Court probate procedures. When a decedent's estate qualifies as a small estate, the decedent's property may be distributed without probate by using an Affidavit of Successor in Interest. The affidavit is presented to the Commonwealth Superior Court for review and endorsement, or directly to asset holders at the court's direction. Includes successor declaration, asset schedule, heirship certification, known-creditor disclosure, indemnification of holder, and CNMI notary acknowledgment. The CNMI follows procedural rules modeled on U.S. probate practice; the Commonwealth Superior Court has exclusive jurisdiction over probate matters. For estates exceeding the small estate threshold or involving real property (including land subject to Article XII restrictions on alienation of land to persons not of Northern Marianas descent), references formal probate before the Commonwealth Superior Court.
