I’m wondering how I can get around going to probate. My dad died in August and had zero debts and no will. My brother and I are the heirs, as he was not married. His final paycheck and vacation pay total around $18,500 in three checks, and I was able to get them from his work by using a Nebraska small estate affidavit. But banks will not accept it and need probate papers, and his work cannot legally change the name it’s made out to, which is “to the estate of dad’s name.” I really want to avoid probate, as it’s such a small amount and it’s under the required $100,000. Is there anything I can do?

This is my first time evicting someone. So I wanted to ask after I create the eviction notice document. I can just hand the eviction notice directly to the tenant, correct?? Also, just so you know, this tenant is a family friend that I allowed to live with me to help her out, and now she is refusing to leave my place and says she has tenant rights even though there was never a lease agreement put in place because, again, I let her stay with me at my place to help her out.
