Format for affidavit

[NorthDevon66]

What's the format for an affidavit? I have a land dispute and want someone to write a supporting testimony. They will write about 300 words, there will be one figure (a map) and that's it. As it stands page 1 has the text, followed by the signature locations (two of them), and then the map is on page 2 under the title: Appendix A (presumably if I keep this format I need to add an additional signing location on the map page).

But can I arrange things so that I put the map in the text (so it's not on a separate page but embedded in the text), and then have the signature at the end. And I can then put a caption on the map, eg Figure 1, and then refer to that in the text?

I think the solicitor who witnesses the form being signed could advise you on the layout.

Affidavits are not generally used in court proceedings these days, and evidence is normally provided in the form of a witness statement.

There's some good guidance here - https://england.shelter.org.uk/professional_resour...

If, for any reason, you do want an affidavit there's a sample here - https://assets.publishing.service.gov.uk/media/601...

Thanks for the useful link.

If you do an affidavit then you attach/annex the exhibit marked 'A' that comprises of a map of so and so. if a simple witness statement can be used then that's much easier.
