When a person passes away without a Will in Texas, an affidavit of heirship may help establish a chain of title. Our experienced probate attorneys can help you with an affidavit of heirship.
An Affidavit of Heirship is a legal document used to establish the heirs of a deceased person when there is no will, and the estate is relatively straightforward. This affidavit is often employed in situations where the deceased person’s estate consists primarily of real property, such as a house or land. Once the Affidavit of Heirship is recorded, it serves as evidence of the deceased person’s heirs and their respective shares in the property. The recorded affidavit is often used in conjunction with other required documents, such as a deed, to transfer title to the heirs.
An Affidavit of Heirship itself does not transfer title to property. Instead, it is a document used to provide information about the deceased person’s heirs and their respective interests in the property. The purpose of the affidavit is to establish the heirs’ ownership rights and facilitate the transfer of title, but it does not effectuate the transfer on its own.
