Description
The Affidavit of Domicile is a legal document used in Washington to affirm the legal residence of a deceased individual, thus facilitating the transfer of their assets and securities. This form requires the affiant, typically the executor or administrator of the estate, to provide their name, address, and relationship to the deceased, along with details of the decedent's legal residence at the time of death. Key features include sections for confirming that the decedent's domicile was solely in Washington and that they were not a resident of any other state. To fill out the form, the affiant must accurately provide all required personal information and details about the decedent sequentially. It's essential that the form be signed in the presence of a notary public, as their acknowledgment is vital for the affidavit's legal validity. The Affidavit of Domicile is particularly useful for attorneys, partners, owners, associates, paralegals, and legal assistants involved in estate management, as it simplifies the process of transferring assets and provides a clear declaration of residency for legal proceedings.
