Signing an affidavit or statutory declaration is a legal act with consequences. Treating it as routine paperwork is a mistake people regret.
An affidavit is a written statement you swear or affirm to be true before a commissioner or notary. A statutory declaration is a similar solemn statement. Both are used widely, in court, in immigration, in business and in estates, and both carry legal weight.
Because an affidavit is sworn evidence, a false or careless statement can have serious consequences, and a poorly worded one can damage the very matter it was meant to support. What goes into an affidavit, and how it is framed, is often more important than the signing itself.
We prepare affidavits and declarations that say exactly what they need to, no more and no less, and commission or notarize them correctly for where they will be used.

Book a Consultation签署誓章或法定声明,是一项有后果的法律行为。把它当作例行文书,是人们日后会后悔的错误。
誓章(affidavit),是你在监誓专员或公证人面前宣誓或确认为真实的书面陈述。法定声明(statutory declaration),是类似的郑重陈述。两者应用广泛,法庭、移民、商业与遗产,都具法律分量。
因为誓章是“宣誓证据”,一句虚假或草率的陈述可能带来严重后果,而措辞拙劣的誓章,可能反而损害它本要支持的那件事。写进誓章的内容、以及如何表述,往往比签署本身更重要。
我们起草的誓章与声明,恰如其分地写下该写的,不多不少,并按其使用地正确地监誓或公证。
