An Affidavit of Death and Warship of Decedent is a legal document used to establish the death of an individual and to identify the heirs of the deceased. This document is often used in probate proceedings to transfer property from the deceased to the heirs. It typically includes the date of death, the decedent's name, the names of the heirs, and their relationship to the decedent. There are two common types of Affidavit of Death and Warship of Decedent: Small Estate Affidavit and Warship Affidavit. The Small Estate Affidavit is used when the deceased's estate does not have a lot of assets or liabilities and is not subject to Probate. This type of Affidavit is typically used to transfer ownership of a bank account, stock, or other type of account. The Warship Affidavit is used when the estate is subject to Probate and includes more assets and liabilities. This type of Affidavit is used to prove the identity of the heirs and to transfer ownership of the estate assets to them. Both types of Affidavit of Death and Warship of Decedent require the Affine (the person signing the document) to swear or affirm that the information contained in the document is true and accurate. The Affine must also provide proof that the decedent is deceased, such as a death certificate or a copy of the decedent's obituary. The Affidavit must be notarized and filed with the appropriate court or government office.
