I strongly recommend you read your California handbook - it is available online. This is Notary101.

Sylvia, I have read my handbook, many times, and nowhere is the Jurat with Affiant Statement mentioned. Jurat yes, but not this other form. I am not sure why you would use this form. Can anyone help me on this, please?

It is used mostly (I'd almost say exclusively--but what do I know) by an attorney and will be drafted by one. Notaries don't do this. All you need to do is complete the jurat below whatever the lawyer has drafted that the signer wants or needs to 'state' or 'affirm'.

Re: If you know what a Jurat is, and know who an Affiant is,

and know what an Affidavit does, = you would know what the form is used for. It does not have to be in your handbook. Notary 101!

The Jurat w/ Affiant statement is not an "official" form in our handbook because the affiant statement is NOT a notarial form. It's is simply a statement... and it can be in any form the signer wants, with a jurat attached.

There are forms out there that allow for a person to write a statement out that contain a pre-printed jurat... but I don't like supplying them because, as a notary, I don't want them to think I'm supplying them with any kind of legal document.

As previously mention, this is usually something a lawyer prints out for a client, or somebody writes up ahead of time. As a notary, you're only concerned with the jurat part of it.

Today in a refi, I had something very similar. The form was the BO's name affidavit, where he put in all the information and signed his name 4 different times in 4 different ways
and then signed on the bottom that he is affirming these signatures and names to be true. Attached to that was an acknowlegement which was I notarized that he is the one who acknowleges he signed the document.
