Free Download - affidavitforms.org/heirship/

An affidavit of heirship is a form that may be used by the rightful family member of someone who died and did not leave a will. The document is mainly for the use of real estate that was left by the deceased and did not have a written will stating who or where the land would belong to after their death. The form is to be filed by the remaining family member(s) with the county office that regulates deeds.

According to most States, the form must be signed by one (1) or two (2) individuals that knew the deceased and can stand-by the applicant’s claim that there is no other family or spouse that has rights to the premises. If approved by county deed’s office, the land/property shall be transferred to the new owner.
