Whenever a person dies intestate, leaving no debts, or such debts as his heirs choose to assume and pay, the heirs may present to the court a petition duly verified by two witnesses, which shall state—\n(1) the name and residence of the deceased;\n(2) the date of his death, supported by death certificate when available and procurable;\n(3) the names and capacities of the heirs;\n(4) that there are no debts, or that the heirs choose to assume and pay such debts as there may be;\n(5) that they accept the estate purely, simply and unconditionally, making the petitioners and the property of decedent responsible for any debts that may be owing by the decedent; and\n(6) the proportion due each heir.\nThe petition shall end with a prayer that the heirs be recognized as the legal heirs of the deceased and as such be placed in full possession of the decedent's estate, real and personal.
