Affidavit Of Title

One key step to selling a property: proving that you own it. Otherwise you might just go around selling your neighbor's hunting cabin or the Brooklyn Bridge.

In an affidavit of title, you swear under oath that you own the property you are trying to sell. It can also include other stipulations, outlining the financial status of the property (any liens, etc.) or any other pertinent information.
