  Affidavits of Death

  Overview for Affidavits of Death

  An "Affidavit of Death" is a document that verifies the identity of the deceased person as a property owner and implicitly removes their name from the property title. The Affidavit of Death is usually filed after the property owner’s death and before processing any other documents that will affect the property title. A certified copy of the Death Certificate must be provided at the time of filing.

  We process Affidavits of Death for the following situations:

  • The deceased property owner held title as Joint Tenants.
  • The deceased property owner held title in a Living Trust.
