This is a national template for general use and is not legal advice. An affidavit of heirship records family and heir facts. It is not a probate substitute, not a will, and not a court filing.
What an affidavit of heirship is
An affidavit of heirship is a sworn statement that records family and heir facts about a person who has died. It names the affiant, the decedent, and the people the affiant knows as family or heirs.
When people use this form
Use it when you need a written record of those facts. Fill in what you personally know. Leave blank anything you do not know.
This is not a probate substitute, not a will, and not a court filing. It does not transfer title by itself and it is not legal advice. Courts, agencies, and title companies may require their own forms. Notary and oath rules vary.
