More details to this question:
My twin sister and I are the only living relatives of my Aunt who passed away in Arizona. We reside in Pennsylvania. I have been searching insurance companies and the only beneficiary on the policy is her husband, who passed away in 2017. They have been telling me that I have to get a small estate affidavit or an affidavit of heir-ship to receive the benefits. Where can I obtain those documents? How can I file?

A Small Estate Affidavit is usuallly and an Application for Determination of Heirship is always prepared and filed by an attorney. Contact a probate attorney who practices in the county in which your aunt lived and died.
