What's an affidavit of lost promissory note and indemnity agreement?
Whether you keep your promissory note in a safe or a shoe box, there's always a chance it could get lost or damaged. A promissory note is proof a loan's been made, and an affidavit is a promise what you're signing is true. Creating new documents would have to start with an affidavit of lost promissory note. Adding the indemnity agreement protects both parties should issues arise in the future.
Here's the information you'll need to have handy to complete your affidavit of lost promissory note and indemnity agreement:
- How much the promissory note was for: Know the principal amount and how payments were made
- What happened to the promissory note: Was it lost, stolen, or destroyed
