heirship

Fortunately, that time-consuming and expensive process can be avoided if an Affidavit of Heirship is used.

Basically, an Affidavit of Heirship is like a family tree.

When an Affidavit of Heirship is used, a nonrelated person who is a Notary Public must witness the signature of individual who created the document so that their signature can be validated.

The Affidavit of Heirship can be used by family members like brothers, sisters, children, parents and even nieces and nephews.

Once the Affidavit of Heirship has been completed and given a notary seal, the document must be filed with a County Clerk in their jurisdiction.
