An Affidavit of Heirship Form is an essential legal document used to establish the heirs, or successors, of a deceased’s estate, such as a property or assets. This form must be filled out by a family member (or someone who can vouch for the deceased’s relation to the heir) and then notarized by a Notary Public in order to make it legally binding. Once complete, this form can be used to transfer the legal ownership of the decedent’s estate to the rightful heirs. This process can save time, money, and potential litigation when settling the estate of a loved one.
