Simplify Property Transfers with a Legally Valid Affidavit of Heirship
When a loved one passes away without a will, transferring ownership of their property—especially real estate—can be a challenge. In Texas, an Affidavit of Heirship is a legal tool that helps heirs claim ownership without going through the full probate process.
At Daniel Albert Law Firm, we help families in Houston and across Texas draft and file Affidavits of Heirship efficiently and accurately—giving you peace of mind during a difficult time.
What Is an Affidavit of Heirship?
An Affidavit of Heirship is a sworn legal document used to:
• Establish who the legal heirs of a deceased person are
• Transfer real estate ownership without probate
• Clear title so the property can be sold or refinanced
• Provide a record of family relationships for future legal use
It must be signed by disinterested witnesses who knew the deceased and can attest to their family history.
When Is It Used?
This legal tool is most often used when:
• The deceased died without a will (intestate)
• The estate consists mainly of real property (e.g., a home or land)
• No formal probate is being pursued
• The heirs agree on the distribution of the property
We ensure all requirements under Texas Estates Code are met, so the document will be accepted by title companies and financial institutions.
What We Do
• Draft legally compliant affidavits
• Ensure proper witness selection and notarization
• Record the affidavit in the county where the property is located
• Review title issues and coordinate with title companies
• Guide you through alternative probate options, if needed
We make the process as smooth and stress-free as possible.
