This Chapter provides rules relative to the probate of inheritance of small estate. It sets out procedures for and content of complaints regarding the transfer of decedent’s property to beneficiaries and creditors. There is also a procedure if debts exceed the value of assets to be inherited. The transferee shall be personally responsible for any property received by him or her under any order issued pursuant to this Chapter, and any party claiming an interest in such property may, after demand, maintain, within a specified period, an action against the transferee.
