An Affidavit of Death is a legal document that provides evidence that a person is deceased. It is typically used to transfer title to property or assets, close bank accounts, and settle inheritance matters. Affidavits of Death can be sworn by family members or other individuals who have knowledge of the deceased’s passing. There are two main types of Affidavit of Death: General Affidavit of Death and Special Affidavit of Death. The General Affidavit of Death is a basic form that contains basic information about the deceased such as name, date of birth, date of death, and place of death. The Special Affidavit of Death is a more detailed form that includes additional information such as the time of death, cause of death, and any other pertinent details.
