What is an Affidavit of Heirship?

An Affidavit of Heirship is an affidavit that can be used in certain situations to identify the heirs of a deceased property owner and transfer their interest to their heirs. The affidavit is generally used when a property owner either dies without a will or a property owner’s will was not probated within four years of their death.
