AFFIDAVIT OF OWNERSHIP TEMPLATE FAQ
What is an affidavit of ownership?
An Affidavit of Ownership is a sworn statement confirming that a person (or business) owns a specific asset. It may be requested by a bank, insurer, government agency, title office, or other organization to clarify ownership when a title, bill of sale, or other proof is missing or needs support.
When is it used?
Common uses include confirming vehicle or equipment ownership, personal property ownership for insurance claims, business asset records, or proving ownership of property received by gift or inheritance. This template is general and can be adapted to different contexts.
What should be included?
Include: the asset description, identifying numbers (VIN/serial), how and when ownership was acquired, where the asset is located, whether there are liens, and supporting documents. This template includes each of these items in plain language.
Does this replace a title or bill of sale?
Usually no. Many agencies still require formal transfer documents. This affidavit can support your request but may not be sufficient on its own.
Do you need notarization?
Often yes, especially if used for official records. This template includes notarization and an optional witness section.
