Affidavit Of Title

Affidavit of Title is a legal document that specifies the title of a property with the seller of such property. This document is provided by the seller of the property to the buyer and removes any ambiguity in the title of such property. This document also acts as the sworn statement that the property is free of any lien or charge and is not being sold to another party at the same time to avoid any potential legal issues. It assures the buyer of the property of their claim upon buying the same from the seller without diluting it from any potential cases of seller’s bankruptcy or legal attachment of the property in any pending case against the seller.
