what do we call the person who executes an affidavit?
Affidavits of execution are often found attached to a will prepared by a lawyer. It is an important document that helps expedite the court process when administering an estate. It is a sworn affidavit of a witness of a will that the will was properly witnessed (executed). It must be completed by someone authorized to swear an affidavit; such as a commissioner of oaths. In Ontario, lawyers are able to swear affidavits.
