What is an Affidavit of Ownership?

An Affidavit of Ownership is a legal document that you can use to prove that you own a piece of real estate or a vehicle. Often used as proof of ownership when a Deed or Certificate of Title aren't enough, an Affidavit of Ownership can make clear how you purchased or inherited the property. Most commonly, this document is requested by banks and lenders or by the county recorder's office to provide additional proof of your ownership. Depending on your state laws, a copy of the Real Property Deed or Certificate of Title may still be required as an attachment to this document.

When to use an Affidavit of Ownership:

  • You need to provide proof of your ownership of certain real property (land).
  • You need to provide proof of ownership of a vehicle.
