Affidavit

An affidavit is a document which is used when a person creates a sworn record of factual statements. Affidavits are usually required when, for legal reasons, certain facts known to a person making an affidavit (usually called the "affiant") must be recorded and sworn as true. Because the factual statements in affidavits are "sworn," they must be signed in the presence of a person authorized to take oaths, such as a notary public. Use this form to create an affidavit that can be signed under oath by a notary, or other person authorized to take oaths.
