*An affidavit is a sworn legal statement — it must be signed in front of a notary (or other authorized official) to be valid, and false statements in one can carry criminal perjury penalties. This is a general structural template only; the specific facts and purpose determine whether it will actually serve its intended legal use — consult a licensed attorney if this affidavit matters to a legal proceeding.*
