If properly drafted and executed in compliance with Chapter 205 and title company requirements, then heirship issues may be considered resolved. No involvement of the probate court is required.

An affidavit of heirship is most often used when you believe you are legally entitled to the assets of a decedent when the decedent died without leaving a Last Will and Testament.
