Sign before a notary Bring a current, government-issued photo ID.
Deliver copies to the successor trustee and those entitled to notice, and turn over trust property and records.
A successor trustee uses this form to formally accept appointment as trustee of a North Carolina trust, so banks and title companies can recognize their authority.
An affidavit of heirship is a sworn statement of a deceased person’s family history identifying the legal heirs. Title companies and institutions use it, often with a probate or small estate procedure.
A certification of trust is a short summary that proves a trust exists and who may act for it, without revealing beneficiaries or other private terms. Banks and title companies rely on it.
North Carolina lets an heir, beneficiary, or certain creditors collect a small estate’s personal property, such as bank accounts and vehicles, by sworn affidavit instead of full estate administration.
