This specialized type of affidavit is used in real estate transactions to verify certain information regarding a piece of property. This document is generally used at the closing of the sale of a piece of property. An Affidavit of Title is often required by a mortgage lender prior to approving a mortgage. With an Affidavit of Title, a landowner or seller states, under oath, that he or she has full possession and ownership of the property being sold. The seller also states the existence of any liens or claims against the property and that he or she has full authority to sell the property.

Frequently Asked Questions

An Affidavit of Title is a legal document used in real estate transactions to affirm the seller's ownership of a property and disclose any liens or claims against it. This document is often required by lenders to ensure clear title before approving a mortgage.

Typically, the seller of the property must sign the Affidavit of Title. In some cases, co-owners or representatives of the estate may also need to sign if the property is jointly owned or part of an estate.

While not every property sale requires an Affidavit of Title, it is commonly mandated by mortgage lenders and is a best practice to ensure clarity of ownership and avoid future disputes.

If there are liens against the property, the seller must disclose this information in the Affidavit of Title. Depending on the nature of the liens, they may need to be resolved before the sale can proceed.

Using a generic affidavit is not advisable, as the Affidavit of Title is specifically tailored for real estate transactions and includes necessary legal language and disclosures required by Arizona law.

Is This Form Right For You?

Use This Form If:

  • Individuals who are selling a property in Arizona often need to complete an Affidavit of Title to confirm their ownership and the absence of any undisclosed liens. This document is crucial during the closing process, ensuring that the buyer receives clear title to the property.
  • Situations requiring mortgage approval typically necessitate the submission of an Affidavit of Title. Lenders require this affidavit to verify that the seller has the legal right to sell the property and that there are no outstanding claims against it.
  • For those involved in real estate transactions, an Affidavit of Title serves as a protective measure against future disputes. By swearing to the accuracy of the information provided, sellers can help ensure a smoother transfer of ownership.
  • Real estate agents often advise their clients to prepare an Affidavit of Title as part of the closing documentation. This ensures that all parties are aware of the property's legal status and any potential issues that could arise post-sale.
  • In cases where a property has been inherited, heirs may need to file an Affidavit of Title to establish their ownership rights before selling the property. This document helps clarify the chain of title and confirms that there are no competing claims.

Do Not Use If:

  • – This form is not appropriate when the seller does not have clear ownership of the property. If there are disputes regarding ownership or if the property is subject to ongoing litigation, an Affidavit of Title should not be used.
  • – In cases where the property has not been fully paid off and there are outstanding mortgages or liens, the Affidavit of Title may not suffice. Sellers must resolve these issues before attempting to sell the property.
  • – If the seller is not physically present to sign the affidavit, alternative arrangements must be made. The Affidavit of Title requires the seller's sworn statement, which cannot be substituted with a power of attorney in all cases.
  • – Situations involving properties that are part of a trust or estate may require different documentation. An Affidavit of Title may not be suitable if the property is held in a trust without proper authority to sell.
