The information on this form is requested to assist U.S. Consular Officers to fulfill the
requirements of 22 U.S.C. 2715c and determine the next-of-kin of an American citizen who
dies abroad. A U.S. Consular Officer, or a U.S. diplomatic Officer is required to serve as
"provisional conservator" of the personal effects of U.S. citizens who die abroad at the time
of their death if there is not a legal representative, partner in trade, or trustee appointed to
take care of the decedent's estate and if the responsibilities of a "provisional conservator"
are authorized by treaty by the authorities or usage of the country where the death occurs
or the decedent is domiciled. Additionally, in exceptional circumstances, a U.S. Consular
Officer may also serve as administrator of an estate. A U.S. Consular officer may only
release the personal effects of the decedent to a person who has qualified legally to take
care of the decedent's estate or, in appropriate circumstances, to the next of kin.
Providing the information in the affidavit is voluntary, but, failure to complete this form will
require the person claiming to be next-of-kin to obtain and present alternative documents
such as certified copies of Letters Testamentary, Letters of Administration, or trust
documents.
ROUTINE USES: The information solicited on this form may be made available to federal,
state, local, or foreign government entities for administrative or law enforcement purpose,
including for the notification of kin or judicial matters involving contested estates and
related issues.
