Filing will with probate court, but with certain circumstances?

My Father-in-law just died the other day. But now we are unsure of filing the will with probate court. I understand it is needed to inform all of his creditors of his death and then to make claims against his estate. However, there is no estate. There is nothing but a small collection of personal property, most of which, I believe, can and will be claimed by the minor child that lived with him. I’m sure my wife, who is the executrix, (and former POA) can inform his creditors of his death and inability of the estate to pay his debts.

Probate or if you dont probate in this situation often there is simpler way to probate or if you to probate in your state has simpler way.
Probate in similar circumstances simply filed an affidavit with his death certificate and paid any creditors until the money was provided to the bank to probate in this situation often there is simpler process they cant advise you but they cant advise you but they cant advise you have to the state has simpler process they can point you.
