You can have it notarized in any state.

In the state you sign, the notary will witness and notarize it.

Once you notarize it, send it the probate court, but I would get specific directions from the court clerk and use overnight mail or a courier.

I'm sorry to hear about the passing of your sister. Were you named as the executor or administrator of her estate in Hawaii?

She did not have anyone. I was her only emergency contact.

AI

In which state are you currently located and seeking to have the Small Estate Affidavit notarized?

Kansas.

Is there anything else the Estate Lawyer should know before I connect you? Rest assured they’ll be able to help with notarizing the Small Estate Affidavit in Kansas.

That is my main issue.

No, I have it downloaded but nothing signed.

Got it. Thanks! Is there anything else you'd like me to consider about this situation?

No, what is my next step?
