Is This Form Right For You?

Use This Form If:

  • Individuals who are selling their property may need to provide an Affidavit of Title to assure the buyer and the lender that they have clear ownership and no undisclosed claims against the property. This document serves as a formal declaration that the seller is authorized to sell the property and that they are not aware of any legal issues that could affect the transaction.
  • Situations requiring mortgage approval often necessitate the submission of an Affidavit of Title. Lenders typically request this document to confirm that the seller has the legal right to transfer ownership and that the property is free from any encumbrances that could jeopardize the loan.
  • For those involved in real estate transactions, an Affidavit of Title is crucial at the closing stage. This affidavit helps to finalize the sale by providing a sworn statement regarding the seller's ownership and the status of the property, ensuring that the buyer is protected from potential disputes.
  • Real estate agents may advise their clients to prepare an Affidavit of Title to facilitate smoother negotiations. By presenting this document, sellers can demonstrate transparency and build trust with potential buyers, which can expedite the sale process.
  • In cases where a property has been inherited, heirs may need to use an Affidavit of Title to clarify their ownership rights. This document can help establish their legal claim to the property and assist in the transfer process during estate settlements.

Do Not Use If:

  • – This form is not appropriate when the property being sold is subject to ongoing litigation or disputes. In such cases, the legal complexities require more than just an affidavit to resolve ownership issues.
  • – If the seller does not have clear title or ownership of the property, using an Affidavit of Title would be misleading and could lead to legal repercussions.
  • – Situations where the property has multiple owners or co-owners may require additional documentation beyond a simple Affidavit of Title to clarify the rights of each party involved.
  • – In cases where the property is being sold as part of a bankruptcy proceeding, an Affidavit of Title may not be sufficient to address the legal requirements and protections needed in such transactions.
  • – This form should not be used if the seller is aware of any undisclosed liens or claims against the property, as this would violate the purpose of the affidavit and could lead to liability for the seller.
