Gather all the relevant information to complete your document. This may include the name and address of the deceased party, the date and location of the Decedent's death, addresses, birth dates, and other details of spouses, children, and other heirs of the Decedent.

Use the information you collected to complete the affidavit of heirship. We make this easy by guiding you at each step of the way and helping you to customize your document to match your specific needs. The questions and information we present to you dynamically change depending on your answers and the state selected.

It is always important to read your document thoroughly to ensure it matches your needs and is free of errors and omissions. You must sign the affidavit in front of a notary public. When using a notary, always be sure to wait to sign the document until he or she is present.

Once complete, attach all relevant documents and file the affidavit with the appropriate court. If you are naming real estate to be transferred in the affidavit, then the affidavit will also need to be filed with the appropriate land records office in the county where the land is located (usually called the County Recorder's office).
