Description
The Affidavit of Domicile is a legal document used in Florida to affirm the primary residence of a deceased individual, known as the decedent, at the time of their passing. This form serves as evidence to manage the decedent's estate and is particularly crucial when transferring securities or assets registered in the decedent's name. Key features include sections for the affiant's (the person making the affidavit) name, residence details, and the decedent's history of residence, along with a declaration that the decedent was not a resident of any other state. It is important for the affiant to be duly sworn before a notary public to validate the affidavit. Filling out this form requires accurate residential information and must be executed with clarity. Legal professionals such as attorneys, paralegals, and legal assistants will find this form essential when dealing with estate matters, ensuring compliance with Florida laws regarding probate and asset distribution. The affidavit is a fundamental tool in streamlining the process of estate administration and safeguarding the interests of the beneficiaries.
