Re: petition for inheritance
If you're talking about legally establishing your claim to property which a relative may have left to you who died without a will (intestate), you must complete and file with the clerk's office of the circuit court(land records)in the jurisdiction
where the property is located a document known as an Affidavit of Heir(s) or Affidavit of Heirship
in order to establish your legal claim to the property.
