Questions answered? Let's get started!

New Jersey closings run on a deed and a sworn statement. The customary New Jersey conveyance, a bargain and sale deed with a covenant against the grantor's acts, carries one narrow promise: that the grantor has done nothing to encumber the property. The factual assurance a purchaser and a title insurance company actually examine at the closing table, who holds title and possession, what has happened with the sellers' marriages, judgments, and contractors, travels in the seller's affidavit of title. This form prepares that affidavit for one or two individual New Jersey sellers.

Representations Beyond the Deed Covenants

New Jersey's Appellate Division recognized in Somerset County v. Durling, 174 N.J. Super. 52 (App. Div. 1980), that a seller's affidavit can create representations independent of the covenants in the deed. That is this instrument's legal engine. The affiants swear to record title and actual, peaceable possession; to the absence of undisclosed deeds, mortgages, leases, options, and easements signed since they took title; to the state of their judgments, lawsuits, and bankruptcies; to paid taxes and municipal charges; and to the absence of recent construction activity that could ripen into a lien. The statements are sworn, so a willfully false one is punishable as false swearing under N.J.S.A. 2C:28-2, a statute that reaches sworn documents outside any courtroom.

Twenty Years of Judgments, 120 Days of Construction

Two New Jersey clocks shape the affidavit's content. Docketed Superior Court judgments bind a debtor's real estate statewide under N.J.S.A. 2A:16-1 and remain liens for twenty years, so title companies search judgments for twenty years against every name a seller has used; the affidavit collects those other names and addresses what the search returns. Under the Construction Lien Law, a contractor or supplier can lodge a lien claim for record within 90 days after the last work, services, materials, or equipment, or within 120 days on residential construction, and a Notice of Unpaid Balance and Right to File Lien can preserve priority for a coming claim. The affidavit's construction statement covers exactly that window, which is why a question about recent work appears in every New Jersey closing package.

Exceptions Keep a True Affidavit True

Every statement in the form is qualified by the phrase except as stated in this affidavit. The exceptions section is where reality goes: the sellers' own mortgage to be paid and discharged from the closing proceeds, a tenancy, an unpaid assessment. A disclosed matter qualifies the affidavit instead of contradicting it; the completed example shows a typical entry, an open mortgage identified by its recording reference and marked for payoff at closing.

Delivered at the Closing, Not Recorded

In New Jersey practice the affidavit of title is handed to the purchaser and the title insurance company at closing rather than recorded with the county. It is not among the deed-recording prerequisites of N.J.S.A. 46:26A-3, and it is distinct from the RTF-1 affidavit of consideration that is annexed to certain deeds under N.J.S.A. 46:15-6. The form provides blocks for one or two affiants, with a separate jurat for each so two sellers can swear before different officers, and a non-recorded instructions page rides in front of the document. The package includes the blank fillable PDF, the completed example, and a plain language guide that walks through every numbered section; the materials are informational and are not legal advice.

I find your forms hard to use, inasmuch as the forms cannot be converted to a Word Document. Editing and deleting of extra lines is not possible, making for a deed with large blank spaces. Document that results is not usable for me.

Sorry to hear that we did not meet your expectations. We have canceled your order and payment. We do hope you find something more suitable to your needs elsewhere. Have a wonderful day.

Thank you for the prompt instructions on the download and installation. The only problem I had was trying to input data into the form once I renamed the form.and saved it. I was unable to change the size of the font and was very frustrated. In the end I finally had to redo the entire form through Word using your format.
