In Idaho, you can use an Affidavit if the value of the estate is less than $100,000. There's a 30-day waiting period. Liens and encumbrances (like mortgages) don't count towards this value.
There's also a summary probate proceeding available for small estates if the value of all the property owned by the decedent is less than the homestead allowance, exempt property, and medical expenses of the last illness or if there's a surviving spouse who inherits everything.
Idaho, like most states, does not impose an estate or inheritance tax. Only a few states do.
The minimum wage in Idaho is the same as the federal minimum wage: $7.25 an hour.
In Idaho, your employer may pay you a minimum wage of $3.35 an hour, as long as you earn enough in tips to bring your total hourly pay up to the full minimum wage, $7.25 an hour. If you don’t earn enough in tips to bring your compensation to the full minimum wage, your employer must make up the difference.

In Idaho, the duration of benefits depends on the state's unemployment rate when you apply and on your earnings during the base period: the more of your wages you earned outside of the highest paid quarter of the base period, the longer you will receive benefits. (In other words, if you earned almost all of your wages in the highest paid quarter, your benefits will last for a shorter time than if your wages were more evenly spread out.) The maximum period for which you can receive benefits ranges from 10 to 26 weeks.
