Affidavit of Execution

An Affidavit of Execution is used by a party to verify that they witnessed the signing of a legal document.

The Affidavit of Execution is often required for documents that deal with land or property, or for documents required by financial institutions. Even for documents where the Affidavit of Execution is not required, having one often gives the document extra credibility. The Affidavit of Execution is sworn by the witness under oath and in front of a Commissioner of Oaths or a Notary Public.
