Affidavit of Heirship

Settling a loved one's estate can prove challenging during an already difficult time. An Affidavit of Heirship can ease the process, and is used most often when there's no Will. Use an Affidavit of Heirship to establish that you're an heir and help speed up the settlement of the estate.

Use the Affidavit of Heirship document if:

• A family member or spouse has passed away with no Will or instructions on how to disburse their estate and you wish to make it known that you are the lawful heir of a deceased person.
• You want to gain ownership of a loved one's estate without having to go to probate court.
• You and the other heirs are in agreement on how the deceased personal or real property should be distributed.
