Document background
A Sale Affidavit is commonly used when there's a need to create an official record of a sale transaction with legal standing. This document is particularly important in situations where proof of ownership transfer needs to be definitively established, such as in private sales without traditional documentation or when additional verification is required by authorities. The Sale Affidavit includes detailed information about the seller, buyer, item description, sale price, and transaction date, and must be sworn to under oath before a notary public. In the United States, these affidavits are frequently used in vehicle transfers, property sales, and high-value personal item transactions where documentation of the sale needs to be legally verifiable.
