Download Free Alaska Affidavit of Heirship Form

This is an Alaska Affidavit of Heirship Form, to be completed by a third disinterested party (affiant) and filed in the record of the county clerk. The Affidavit must be filled only if the decedent has not left a will and he/she has a certain amount of property that can be claimed by his/her spouse, children and/or other family members. The form is generally used when rightful heirs want to gain ownership of a deceased loved one’s property without having to go to court.
