Affidavit of Title

If you own property and you need to prove it an Affidavit of Title can help you do just that. Maybe you're selling something valuable, like a house or beachfront land, and the buyer is asking for proof that the property is actually yours. This is where an Affidavit of Title can help you dispel reservations and make the sale.

Use the Affidavit of Title document if:

• Someone's asked you to formally declare that you own certain property.
• You want extra reassurance that an owner really owns property
• You want to ensure the property is not encumbered by liens, taxes, or easements

If you were buying property you would want to be sure that no one else could claim better title just because of an error in the county recording office. You might also want to know whether or not the land had any unpaid taxes or if the neighbors were disputing the boundaries of the property. An Affidavit of Title can help clarify these issues and ease your mind or that of your prospective buyer. The good news is that getting this sworn statement typically doesn't take long. All you need is the document and a notary public. By signing an Affidavit of Title, you're swearing under oath that you own the property in question, so there's no need to see a judge. An Affidavit of Title helps give your claim of ownership a little more punch.
