A New York Affidavit in Support is a sworn document filed with the court in New York to provide evidence and testimony to support a particular legal argument or claim. It is signed by a person swearing to the truth of the facts they are presenting and is commonly used in litigation and other legal proceedings. The affidavit is typically used to provide evidence for a motion or to support a defendant's answer to a complaint. There are two main types of New York Affidavit in Support: a General Affidavit and a Specific Affidavit. A General Affidavit can be used to provide evidence of a fact, or to support a legal argument. A Specific Affidavit is more specific and is used to provide evidence for a legal argument or to support a motion. In either case, the Affidavit must be signed in front of a notary public and must include all relevant facts and evidence in support of the legal argument or motion.
