Mary Smith Named Personal Representative for Phillips County West Helena Estate

A Phillips County probate notice records that a personal representative was appointed for an estate tied to the last known address 122 N Coanza, West Helena, AR 72390, with the appointment dated December 11, 2025. The published Phillips County excerpt states, “A Phillips County probate notice was published concerning the estate of a decedent with last known address 122 N Coanza, West Helena, AR 72390,” and “The notice states a personal representative was appointed (appointment dated December 11, 2025),” and it contains a truncated creditor line reading “and calls for creditors to pres.”

Available material does not include the decedent’s full name or the complete creditor-notice language from the Phillips County filing. The Phillips County excerpt omits the decedent’s name and cuts off the creditor phrase, so the deadline for presenting claims and the identity of the appointed personal representative in the county notice are not shown in the provided text.

Separately, a Wisconsin circuit court form excerpt for informal administration includes explicit consent language naming Mary Smith. The Wicourts excerpt contains the statement, “I consent to the appointment of Mary Smith as personal representative(s) in this estate,” and a signature block reading, “Signature Mary Smith, individually and as nominated PR Name Printed or Typed 555 Blank Street, Someplace, WI 51111 Address M.Smith.Address@email.com 715-999-9999.” That same Wisconsin form text also references a will dated October 1, 2020 in sample lines: “I have received a list of all interested persons, and (Choose one) a copy of the will dated October 1, 2020 and codicil(s) (if any), dated .” The form appears in the sample heading “IN THE MATTER OF THE ESTATE OF WILLIAM ELLIOT Name AKA Bill Elliot Amended Waiver and Consent (Informal Administration),” indicating the excerpt is a Wisconsin template rather than a Phillips County filing.

The Wisconsin form excerpt includes procedural directions and requirements: “A waiver and consent form is required from each interested person in the estate before Domiciliary Letters can be issued to the Personal Representative,” and “If the waiver and consent cannot be obtained and there is a Will nominating a personal representative willing to act, a hearing before the Probate Registrar will be required to open the estate.” The form also warns that “If there is no Will, informal administration will be permitted only if all interested persons request or consent in writing to informal administration and the appointment of the same person as personal representative. Any disagreement requires the use of formal probate, which requires hiring an attorney.”

The materials provided do not explicitly link the Wisconsin waiver naming Mary Smith to the Phillips County notice dated December 11, 2025. Key unresolved points remain: the decedent’s legal name in the Phillips County notice, the identity of the personal representative named in the county appointment, the full creditor-notice wording and any claim deadlines, and whether a will dated October 1, 2020 applies to the Phillips County estate. The Wisconsin excerpt supplies Mary Smith’s contact information and signed consent language; the Phillips County excerpt supplies the West Helena address and the December 11, 2025 appointment date. Public records at the Phillips County probate office and the full published notice will be needed to confirm whether Mary Smith is the personal representative appointed in the Phillips County matter.
