The Texas Affidavit of Facts Concerning the Identity of Heirs is a legal form used when an individual or a company wishes to establish the identity of a decedent's heirs. It is used to establish the legal relationship between a decedent and his or her heirs, so that the latter can receive an inheritance or other property rights. The affidavit must be filled out by someone who has personal knowledge of the facts and circumstances involved in the case and must be signed before a notary public. There are two main types of Texas Affidavit of Facts Concerning the Identity of Heirs: the Affidavit of Warship and the Small Estate Affidavit. The Affidavit of Warship is used when the total value of the estate is more than $50,000. This affidavit must be notarized and is used to establish the legal relationship between the deceased person and his or her heirs. The Small Estate Affidavit is used when the total value of the estate is less than $50,000 and does not require notarization. This affidavit is used to establish the legal relationship between the deceased person and his or her heirs, as well as to transfer title and possession of the property.
