The Louisiana Small Succession Affidavit of Death and Warship is a legal document used to probate a decedent's estate when the estate's value is less than $150,000. It is used to establish the legal heirs of a deceased individual, and transfer the assets of the estate to them. There are three types of Louisiana Small Succession Affidavit of Death and Warship: a Formal Affidavit, an Informal Affidavit, and an Affidavit of Warship. A Formal Affidavit is used when there is a will or a notarized succession agreement. This affidavit must be filed with the court and is signed by all the decedent's heirs. An Informal Affidavit is used when the decedent has no will or succession agreement. This affidavit must also be filed with the court and is signed by all the decedent's heirs. An Affidavit of Warship is used when the decedent has no will or succession agreement, and no heirs can be located. This affidavit is signed by two witnesses who are familiar with the decedent's family. It must also be filed with the court. All three types of affidavits must be accompanied by a death certificate, and must list the decedent's assets and liabilities. Once the affidavit is filed with the court and approved, the assets of the estate can be transferred to the heirs.
