Who it is for

Families in Idaho getting papers in order: signing a power of attorney or will, settling an estate, or taking a money dispute to small claims.

Not the right fit if

You only need one of these papers (buy that kit on its own), or nothing is in Idaho. Not a form preparation or legal service.

What is inside

• Idaho Executor and Estate Kit. The estate subject to probate, wherever located, worth no more than $100,000 less liens and encumbrances. 30 days. Thirty days after the death. Handed to the bank or other holder. Presented to whoever owes the debt or holds the property; no court filing is mentioned. Summary administration: As Nolo's summary describes it: the case is opened in probate court and a personal representative is appointed, some regular probate steps are skipped, and a closing statement is filed after distribution; it's available only when the estate, less liens and encumbrances, stays under set amounts. Two witnesses, each of whom saw the signing or the testator's acknowledgment. Allowed at signing or any time later, before an officer authorized to administer oaths where the will is signed. Recognized. The execution section carves out holographic wills, though the page doesn't list their requirements. A will, or any part of it, isn't invalid because an interested witness signed it. Assets, debts, payments and distributions; it compares the countable assets with $100,000, dates day 30 after the death and marks real estate to ask the court about.

• Idaho Power of Attorney Signing Kit. Get your Idaho power of attorney signed the way the state's own law describes. A signature is presumed genuine if acknowledged before a notary; the section doesn't make notarization a condition of validity. The statutory form's notary block is headed as required for recording and for real property. Step by step in signing order: statutory form: Start from the official form: Statutory form power of attorney (Idaho Code 15-12-301); notary: Notarizing isn't a condition of validity here, but do it anyway; witnesses: The execution section doesn't mention witnesses; agent's acknowledgment: No signed acceptance is required before acting; recording for real estate: No section of the chapter requires recording; the form's notary heading says notarizing is needed for recording and real property; durable after incapacity: Durable unless the document says incapacity ends it. Healthcare: The statutory health care directive form (Idaho Code 39-4510) marks its notary and witness section optional: neither is required, though either may be added. Notary: "NOTARY - REQUIRED FOR RECORDING AND FOR REAL PROPERTY" Witnesses: "must be signed by the principal or in the principal's conscious presence by another individual" Agent's acknowledgment: "accepts appointment as an agent under a power of attorney by exercising authority or performing duties" Recording for real estate: "NOTARY - REQUIRED FOR RECORDING AND FOR REAL PROPERTY" Durable after incapacity: "is durable unless it expressly provides that it is terminated by the incapacity of the principal." Healthcare power of attorney: "OPTIONAL NOTARY AND WITNESSES" Recording: No section of the chapter requires recording; the form's notary heading says notarizing is needed for recording and real property. Agent: An agent accepts by acting or other conduct showing acceptance. Plus a copies log.
• Idaho Will Signing Day Kit. Bring 2 witnesses, each at least 18. The rule: Two witnesses, each of whom saw the signing or the testator's acknowledgment. Pick witnesses who get nothing under the will and aren't married to someone who does. Have a notary or another officer who can administer oaths there for the self-proving affidavit. The statute names that officer rather than notaries by name. Allowed at signing or any time later, before an officer authorized to administer oaths where the will is signed. If no notary is available on the day, the affidavit can be added later, while the witnesses can still be reached. Anyone under 18. The rule here: A will, or any part of it, isn't invalid because an interested witness signed it. The testator signs (or acknowledges the signature) while the witnesses watch, then each witness signs. Steps, ID, copies and review dates. Remote witnessing in Idaho: For an electronic will only: the witnesses may sign in the testator's physical or electronic presence. The self-proving affidavit wording can say physical or electronic presence instead of presence and hearing. Electronic wills: Authorized since 2023. An electronic will is a tamper-evident electronic record readable as text when signed, signed by the testator and by at least two witnesses, each a resident of a state, within a reasonable time after witnessing the signing or acknowledgment. Where the original is and who has copies. Handwritten wills in Idaho: Recognized. The execution section carves out holographic wills, though the page doesn't list their requirements.
