Affidavits
Notarizations
An affidavit is a written statement in which the individual (called the “Deponent”) swears or affirms that the information contained within is true to the best of their knowledge. This statement is made under oath and must be signed in the presence of a notary public or other authorized official.
What Is An Affidavit?
Affidavits are used in various contexts, such as court cases, financial disclosures, and official declarations. By signing an affidavit, you are legally affirming the truthfulness of the information it contains, and any false statements will have legal consequences.
