Wyoming Summary Probate
An Easier Way to Navigate the Process
When a loved one passes away, the legal system shouldn’t make a hard time harder. If the estate is modest, Wyoming offers a simpler path: summary probate. At Olsen Crecelius Legal Group, we’re here to simplify the process and help you understand it to its fullest extent.
What Is Summary Probate, And Do You Qualify?
Summary probate is a faster, more cost-effective way to settle a small estate in Wyoming. It’s designed for situations where the estate’s value is below a certain limit (currently $400,000 in Wyoming), and there are no significant complications. It can be completed in weeks, not months, without the need for full court proceedings.
If your estate is worth $400,000 or less and includes both personal and real property (like a home or land), Summary Probate is the best fit for you.
Here’s how Summary Probate compares to Small Estate Administration and Formal Probate.
You’re Not Alone in This
When Is Summary Probate Probate an Option?

- The deceased did not own real estate (or owned minimal real estate in their name alone).
- There is no ongoing dispute over the estate.
- At least 30 days have passed since the person passed away.
