Change requirements for collection of personal property of decedents' estates by affidavit

LB 85 simplifies the process for claiming personal property (like money, belongings, or vehicles) from a decedent's estate valued at $100,000 or less without court-appointed oversight. It requires claimants (such as family members) to submit a sworn affidavit proving the estate's value after debts, 30 days since death (with proof), their relationship to the decedent, and that no court process is active. The affidavit must include a penalty for false statements, and financial institutions or the Department of Motor Vehicles must honor it to release property or transfer vehicle titles. After 10 years of estate closure, vehicle title transfers require fewer affidavit details.
