Frequently Asked Questions

An Arkansas appraisal affidavit is a legal document that provides a sworn statement regarding the appraised value of a property. It is typically required by lenders during the closing process of a real estate transaction.

The appraisal affidavit must be signed by the individual who conducted the appraisal, as well as the property owner, in the presence of a notary public. This ensures the authenticity and legality of the document.

An appraisal affidavit is often required during the closing of a real estate transaction, particularly when financing is involved. Lenders may request this document to confirm the property's value before finalizing the loan.

While an appraisal report provides similar information regarding property value, it is not a sworn statement and may not meet the legal requirements for certain transactions. An affidavit is often necessary for legal purposes.

If the appraisal value is lower than expected, it may affect the financing options available to the buyer. In such cases, the buyer may need to negotiate a lower purchase price or provide a larger down payment to proceed with the transaction.

Is This Form Right For You?

Use This Form If:

  • Individuals who are finalizing a real estate purchase may need to provide an appraisal affidavit to their lender as part of the closing process. This document assures the lender that the property has been appraised accurately and meets the necessary value for financing.
  • Situations requiring a formal declaration of property value often arise during refinancing. Homeowners may be asked to submit an appraisal affidavit to verify the current market value of their home, ensuring the lender has the correct information for loan approval.
  • To comply with local regulations, sellers may be required to present an appraisal affidavit when transferring property ownership. This form serves as a legal confirmation of the property's appraised value, which can help avoid disputes during the transaction.
  • For those involved in estate planning, an appraisal affidavit can be essential when determining the value of inherited property. This document provides a sworn statement of the property's worth, which can be crucial for tax assessments and distribution among heirs.
  • Real estate agents may advise their clients to obtain an appraisal affidavit to facilitate smoother negotiations. By presenting a formal appraisal, sellers can strengthen their position and provide potential buyers with confidence in the property's value.

Do Not Use If:

  • – This form is not appropriate when the property is being sold 'as-is' without any appraisal requirements from the lender. In such cases, the buyer may not need a formal affidavit to proceed with the transaction.
  • – If the appraisal is being conducted for purposes other than financing, such as tax assessment or personal knowledge, an appraisal affidavit may not be necessary. Alternative documentation may suffice in these situations.
  • – In instances where the property is part of a legal dispute or litigation, an appraisal affidavit may not hold the weight required in court. Legal counsel should be sought to determine the appropriate documentation needed.
  • – When the appraisal is outdated or does not reflect current market conditions, using an affidavit based on that appraisal could lead to legal complications. It is advisable to obtain a new appraisal before submitting an affidavit.
  • – If the notary public is unavailable or unable to verify the identities of the signers, the affidavit cannot be properly executed. In such cases, it is crucial to wait until a qualified notary is available.
