Is This Form Right For You?

Use This Form If:

  • Individuals who are purchasing a home may need to provide an appraisal affidavit to their lender to verify the property's value during the mortgage approval process. This document serves as a formal declaration of the appraisal details, ensuring that all parties are aware of the property's worth.
  • Situations requiring a refinancing of an existing mortgage often necessitate an appraisal affidavit. Lenders may request this document to confirm that the current value of the property justifies the refinancing terms, protecting their investment.
  • For those involved in a real estate transaction where a property is being sold, an appraisal affidavit can be crucial. It provides potential buyers with assurance regarding the property's value, which can facilitate negotiations and expedite the closing process.
  • In cases where estate planning is involved, heirs may need to present an appraisal affidavit to establish the value of inherited property. This document can be essential for tax purposes and for dividing assets among beneficiaries.
  • Real estate agents may require an appraisal affidavit to support their listings and marketing efforts. By having a formal appraisal on hand, agents can provide potential buyers with credible information about the property's value.

Do Not Use If:

  • – This form is not appropriate for informal property transactions where no financing is involved. In such cases, a simple agreement may suffice without the need for a formal affidavit.
  • – If the property value is being contested in a legal dispute, an appraisal affidavit may not be suitable. Legal proceedings typically require more comprehensive documentation and expert testimony.
  • – In situations where the appraisal is not conducted by a certified appraiser, using this affidavit could lead to legal complications. It is essential that the appraisal is performed by a qualified professional to ensure validity.
  • – If the transaction involves commercial properties, a different set of documents and appraisal standards may apply. Commercial transactions often require more detailed financial disclosures and assessments.
  • – In cases where the buyer and seller have agreed on a price without the need for an appraisal, this form is unnecessary. The affidavit is specifically designed for situations where an appraisal is needed for financing or legal purposes.
