What is an affidavit of non production?

In oil and gas law, an affidavit on non-production is a notarized document which asserts that no producing oil/gas well exists within a specified area. By affying that the lease is not being held by production of oil or gas from a well, an affidavit of non-production serves as termination for an oil and gas lease when the primary lease term has expired. The document may also make assertions about the nature of drilling operations and shut-in payments for that piece of land, depending on the terms of the lease.

Is a handwritten letter legally binding in court if signed by a neutral witness?

In general, a handwritten letter is not considered a legally binding contract in court unless specific legal requirements are met. Having a neutral witness can add credibility to the contents of the letter and the signature authenticity but does not automatically make it legally binding. For a document to be legally binding, it typically needs to meet specific legal criteria such as offer, acceptance, and consideration.

What happens if a witness to a will dies?

This depends on the laws of the state where the will is to be probated. Some states have more stringent proof requirements than others in the event the witnesses are dead or unknown. Several points to be made here. Most states require wills to be witnessed by two people but that only one of them needs to appear to sign an affidavit that he or she witnessed the testator and the other witness sign the will. If one witness has to sign such a proof for the will to be probated, then more than likely the will will not be admitted to probate, because proper legal execution of the will cannot be made. If one witness has died but the other is available to sign the affidavit, then there should be no problem as long as that state does not require both witnesses to attest to the will's execution. In New Jersey, case law developed whereby if a will had a proper attestation clause and if it had been signed by two witnesses, then someone having knowledge of the handwriting of one witness could sign an affidavit that the signature of one witness on the will is in fact the handwriting of that witness. This makes it likely that the will was signed by that person as a witness in the manner described in the attestation clause. The attestation clause must properly describe how the will was executed or else this technique is unavailable. Modern probate laws governing execution of the will now provided for what is called a "self-proving will". To make a will self-proving, the testator and witnesses sign an affidavit attesting to the proper execution of the will at the same time that the will is executed. This affidavit is then used as the affidavit of proof that a witness to the will would have had to sign to probate the will. This eliminates the need to have one of the actual witnesses to the will at the time of probate. If a will is properly self-proving, there is no further need for the witness to be available to prove the will. This innovation was done in order to save some wills from being denied probate simply because the witnesses had died or were unavailable to prove the will.

Who can sign your last will and testament?

Anyone who is of legal age, sound mind and does not take anything under the will. A "self-proving will" needs the additional attestation by a notary public, but is not required to make the will valid. Any of the witnesses may provide an affidavit that the testator and wtnesses signed the will.

How do you write an answer to an affidavit for child support?

An affidavit is a statement made under oath that the content is true and factual to the best of the knowledge of the person who is giving the information. Such a statement must be made according to the requirements of the law of the state in which the attestor resides. Custodial issues are generally addressed by the court at the hearing and affidavits/ witness statements are only allowed in unusual circumstances (the testifying person is disabled and cannot appear and so forth). A parenting plan is a different matter, it is a court document that is, in some US states a requirement and is always presumed to be taken under oath with the penalty of perjury applicable.
