The Maryland Affidavit of Attempts to Contact, Locate, and Identify Interested Persons is a legal document prepared by a personal representative, guardian, or executor of an estate. It is used to document their attempts to contact and identify any interested persons who may have an interest in the estate. The affidavit must include the name of the decedent, the date of death, the contact information of any interested persons, and any attempts made to contact them. It also must be notarized. There are two types of Maryland Affidavit of Attempts to Contact, Locate, and Identify Interested Persons: a general affidavit and a limited affidavit. The general affidavit is used when the personal representative, guardian, or executor is unable to locate any interested persons. The limited affidavit is used when one or more persons have been located and contacted. This affidavit must include the full name, address, and contact information of any interested persons.
