A New York Affidavit of Lost Note is a legal document that is used to prove that a promissory note has been lost or destroyed. It is typically used in a foreclosure action, when the lender does not have the original note. The affidavit is signed by the lender, who swears under oath that the note has been lost or destroyed. There are two types of New York Affidavit of Lost Note: an Affidavit of Lost Original Note and an Affidavit of Lost Duplicate Note. An Affidavit of Lost Original Note is used when the original note is lost and a duplicate was not created. An Affidavit of Lost Duplicate Note is used when a duplicate note was created, but it has been lost or destroyed. The affidavit must include the date of the note, the amount of the note, the name of the borrower, the name of the lender, and any other information relevant to the note. It must also include a signed statement from the lender that the note has been lost or destroyed and that it has not been transferred or paid. The affidavit must be notarized in order for it to be legally binding.
