Beyond his efficiency, what stood out most was his professionalism and kindness. He treats you like a person, not just another transaction and that truly makes a difference. I genuinely appreciate his approach and will absolutely recommend this law firm. I plan to continue to do a business with them moving forward.

Surveys on estate planning show that a significant portion of American adults do not have a valid will or estate plan in place. Facing the sudden loss of a loved one who dies intestate (without a will) often leaves families confused about how to identify legal heirs and distribute estate property fairly.
While court-supervised probate administration can be a lengthy process, full probate litigation is not always required to transfer assets. Depending on the estate’s contents, a legal instrument known as an Affidavit of Heirship can establish heirship and expedite the transfer of real estate and property directly to rightful beneficiaries.
If you need guidance settling an estate without a will, contact an experienced St. Louis Affidavit of Heirship Attorney at TdD Attorneys at Law today.

What Is an Affidavit of Heirship in Missouri?
An Affidavit of Heirship is a sworn legal document used to record the identity of a deceased person’s legal heirs and their ownership rights to real estate or personal property. This document is commonly utilized when an individual passes away without a will, leaving real property that needs to be transferred or sold without undergoing full probate court proceedings.
Under Missouri law, a properly drafted Affidavit of Heirship typically includes:
- A detailed family tree establishing immediate relatives, children, and marital history.
- Legal descriptions of the real property or assets involved.
- Sworn statements from disinterested witnesses who knew the deceased and hold no financial interest in the estate.
- Formal notarization before recording the instrument in the county land records.
