Re: Inheritance

Usually the Court will accept an affidavit of a disinterested witness, often filed together with a family tree.

Should you like to discuss this or any other legal matter, you can e-mail me for more information about low cost face-to-face, on-line, or a telephone consultation with a lawyer in our office.
