What is an affidavit?  An affidavit is a statement of a person made under oath attesting that the contents of the statement are, to the best of the signing party's knowledge, true.

When are affidavits used?  Affidavits are used in almost every conceivable situation, from proving a will to taking a witness to an accident's statement regarding what he or she saw.

Who must sign an affidavit form?  The party making the statement must of course sign the statement under oath.  It is also signed by a notary or some other judicial officer that can administer oaths, to the effect that the person signing the affidavit was under oath when doing so.

How are affidavits used?  These documents carry great weight in Courts to the extent that judges frequently accept an affidavit instead of the testimony of the witness.

Tips for Preparing Virginia Affidavit Forms

  1. Adhere to the main concept. Affiants require specific information but often turn out contradicting the applicant’s sworn document. It is not hard to wind up spending additional time planning Virginia Affidavit Forms and receiving a lower quality record. To prevent this situation, keep to the major concept behind your affidavit form.
  2. Write in the first person. You're responsible for the statement of the affidavit note, so write only in the first person and use an active voice. Indicate your complete name along with the full names of everyone involved. Note that any uncertainty is a setback you should remove.
  3. Be consistent while preparing Virginia Affidavit Forms. Write down an agenda to list out all events chronologically. If you can remember the date and time of such events, put them in too. Reread your note and make certain that everything is crystal clear.
  4. List the important points you are certain about. Affidavits should only consist of appropriate details. Don't rush to draw in any conclusions. Alternatively, explain the situation as you found it, list everything you heard, and confirm the facts with evidence, if possible.
  5. Sign and notarize it. It's a legal record, so to enforce your sworn statement, you need to sign it. Notarization is mandatory too. Visit a notary office to meet them in person, ask them to check your form and validate your identity. Then, sign documents and notarize them at the same time.
