Document background
An Affidavit of Kinship is a crucial document in Singapore's legal system, particularly in matters of succession and estate administration. This sworn statement is required when individuals need to formally establish their relationship to a deceased person or prove family connections for legal purposes. The document must be prepared in accordance with Singapore law and typically includes detailed family information, supporting documentation, and a family tree. The Affidavit of Kinship is commonly used in probate applications, insurance claims, and other situations where formal proof of family relationships is required. It must be sworn before a Commissioner for Oaths and can be used as evidence in court proceedings.
