Affidavit of Heirship
What is an Affidavit of Heirship?
An affidavit of heirship is a legal document used to establish the rightful heirs and facilitate the transfer of property following the death of a property owner who did not leave a will. Typically utilized in the absence of probate proceedings, this sworn statement is completed by a disinterested third party who is familiar with the family and the deceased’s history. The affidavit provides details such as the identity of the heirs and the family history, and it is filed with the county records to assert the heirs’ claim to the property legally.
