An “Affidavit of Forgery" is a notarized, sworn statement, attesting that the signature appearing on it is indeed a forgery. The account holder MUST provide an Affidavit of Forgery before any criminal charges can be filed! An affidavit must accompany each forged or counterfeited item.
An affidavit is the written statement of a person which sets out facts that are within that person's own knowledge. Affidavits are often required in court proceedings as the evidence of the person giving the affidavit (sometimes called the “depondent”).
The parties or the court can modify these requirements except for the filing of a financial affidavit, which is mandatory in all cases. No Exceptions. Print the appropriate Florida financial affidavit for you & your spouse. Give a copy of your notarized affidavit to your spouse.
Required Documentation Affidavit Document: The sworn statement that outlines the facts needing verification.
