An affidavit of heirship should be signed by two disinterested witnesses. To qualify as a disinterested witness, one must be knowledgeable about the deceased and his or her family history, but cannot benefit financially from the estate.
Where do you file an affidavit of heirship? An affidavit of heirship must be filed with the real property records in the county where the land is located. Call the county clerk and ask how much their filing fees are. The filing fees vary from county to county.
People who can file an application to determine heirship include the following: the personal representative of the estate, a creditor of the estate, a person claiming to be the owner of all or part of the decedent's estate, a party seeking the appointment of an independent administrator.
Generally, the heirs of the decedent are their surviving spouse and children, including all of decedent's biological children and adopted children.
An heir is a person who is legally entitled to collect an inheritance when a deceased person did not formalize a last will and testament. Generally speaking, heirs who inherit the property are children, descendants, or other close relatives of the decedent.

People also ask

Descendant: one who is in the bloodline of an ancestor. (Descendants include children, grandchildren, great grandchildren, etc.) Direct Heir or Legatee: one who is of the direct line of the decedent. This includes children, grandchildren, parents, and grandparents.
An Affidavit of Heirship is not a formal adjudication like probate is. Rather, it is an affidavit outlining the deceased person's family history and the identity of heirs. Nothing is filed in the Probate Court. Rather, the affidavits are filed in the public records of any counties in which the decedent owned property.
If you are named as an heir, you may have to prove to the estate trustee that you are the person named. This can be done by showing the estate trustee identification or providing an affidavit.
The price of the Affidavit of Heirship is $500. This price includes the attorneys' fees to prepare the Affidavit of Heirship and the cost to record in the real property records. You can save $75 if you record the Affidavit of Heirship yourself.
The key point to remember and the determining factor in whether to use Affidavits of Heirship is that they do not and cannot transfer title to anything the decedent owned. Affidavits of Heirship are evidence of title because they are one person's opinion about the title, but they merely create a presumption of title.
