Theme
Money, assets, insurance and fraud
Lenders, insurers, financial institutions and public bodies sometimes ask a person to confirm under oath their financial situation, income, assets or the circumstances of a loss or fraud.
The articles in this theme explain when these declarations are requested, what to put in them and which documents usually accompany them. A sworn declaration supports your documents; it replaces neither a notice of assessment, a statement, nor professional advice.
