A Pennsylvania Unavailable Witness Affidavit is a document that is used in the state of Pennsylvania to provide testimony from a witness who is unavailable to appear in court. It is typically used in civil cases in which a witness is needed to provide testimony but is unable to appear in court due to illness, death, or other incapacitating factors. The affidavit is typically signed and notarized by the witness before a court hearing. There are three types of Pennsylvania Unavailable Witness Affidavits: death affidavits, illness affidavits, and remote affidavits. Death affidavits are used when a witness has passed away and is unable to provide testimony in court. Illness affidavits are used when a witness is incapacitated due to a physical or mental illness and is unable to provide testimony in court. Remote affidavits are used when a witness is unable to appear in court due to distance or other reasons and can provide testimony via video or teleconferencing.
