Hello,

In order to get your affidavit notarised you need to take the person making the affidavit to the notary's office with his/her photo ID and an address proof.

There is no prescribed format for your mother to make an affidavit.All she needs to mention in the affidavit on solemn affirmation is that your grand parents have passed away.

You can download a form online if you choose to do or just walk into an advocate's office in your locality and he will help make an affidavit.
