How a Consumer Hired a Lawyer to Draft an Affidavit of Heirship in North Carolina

In 2025, a personal client in North Carolina sought assistance in drafting an affidavit of heirship to facilitate the transfer of real estate title. The property in question had been transferred via a quitclaim deed by the sole surviving family member following the owner's death in 2017. The client was required to provide this affidavit to satisfy the County Register of Deeds' request for the title transfer into their name. As a result, the client received one proposal from a licensed lawyer, with a flat fee bid of $700, all submitted within the requested deadline of less than a week.
