Answer

1.Call the pension administrator and ask what he needs to avoid going through the expense of probate.

2. Summary procedure for a small estate. Speak with your County Probate Clerk.

You may be able to do a Disposition w/o Administration through the Clerk in the Probate Court. Give them a call to find out what you need. No attorney is required for this procedure and it is for cases such as yours, if you qualify.
