An affidavit is a sworn statement of fact, signed, witnessed and notarized. It also contains a verification that the information is true. The effects of the affidavit depend on the purposes for which it was executed and the jurisdiction.

An affidavit can be used to provide information from family members to cure title defects resulting from missing probates. An affidavit is sometimes allowed in a court proceeding for witnesses who are not available for testimony. An affidavit can be used in some jurisdictions to discharge a mortgage that wasn't properly discharged by the mortgagee, as long as supporting documents are attached that prove the mortgage was paid.

Why is a sworn affidavit necessary in some court cases?

A sworn affidavit is necessary in some court cases to certify that the person making the statement is willing to swear in that what they say is true. Because if someone lies on a sworn affidavit they can be brought up on criminal charges, it tends to persuade people to tell the truth and not falsely miss-represent.


Why would a sesslin affidavit be filed in an ongoing criminal case?

The term is a reference to a particular case (in this instance a State of California case (People v.
