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 form is fairly straightforward and requires the following information: Name, address, and date of death of the decedent. Whether the deceased person was ever married. Names of the surviving heirs. Statement that the deceased did not leave a will. Statement that you are an heir under your state intestacy law.
The affidavit must be signed by a disinterested person, meaning someone who has no financial interest in the estate's assets. Family members who stand to gain or lose something of value by omitting the name of another possible heir are barred from signing the affidavit of heirship.
The primary reason heirs opt for Affidavits of Heirship instead of full probate is that it is a cheaper alternative. Another reason is that more than four years have passed since the date of death, and probate may not be an available option.
