A purchase of vehicle affidavit is a legal document in which the buyer declares their intention to purchase a specific vehicle. It serves as proof of the transaction and may be required for registration or financing purposes.
An affidavit helps establish the legitimacy of the transaction and provides a record of the agreement between the buyer and seller. It may be required by financial institutions or the Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV) for registration or financing.

While it may not be legally required, having the affidavit notarized adds an extra layer of authenticity and may be necessary for certain transactions or institutions.
If there are discrepancies, it can lead to legal issues, including disputes over ownership or the terms of sale. You should ensure that all information is accurate and consistent.
The validity of the affidavit typically lasts as long as the terms of the sale remain unchanged. However, it is advisable to keep a copy for your records and refer to it if any issues arise.
Modifying a signed affidavit may require re-executing the document. It is best to draft a new affidavit if changes are necessary to ensure clarity and legal standing.
