In this situation, an heir can simply file what is called an affidavit of heirship with the court. You may find this form on your state court website or through the court clerks office, or you may need to have an attorney or legal services firm create one for you.
The affidavit of heirship is used when the decedent had no unpaid debts and there was no other requirement that probate be filed. It is often used when there is a third party who requires the affidavit before transacting business with the heir as owner of the property.
Generally legal heir certificates are issued in the district where the deceased took their last breath. In this case, you will have to apply for a succession certificate in the district where the deceased persons property is.
To determine if you are an heir or named in a trust or will, review the documents themselves. Wills are usually filed with the local probate court after the persons death, making them public records. Trusts may require contacting the trustee or legal counsel managing the trust.
An heir is someone who is set to inherit the property of the deceased when no will or testament has been made. A beneficiary is someone who was chosen by the deceased to inherit their property, as laid out in a will or testament.
