Document background
An Affidavit Release is commonly used in Singapore when parties need to create a legally binding and formally sworn release of claims or obligations. This document type combines the formality of an affidavit with the substantive effect of a release, making it particularly useful in situations requiring high evidential value. The Affidavit Release must be executed in accordance with Singapore's legal requirements, including proper witnessing by a Commissioner for Oaths. It typically contains detailed information about the claims being released, any consideration provided, and specific terms of the release. This document is particularly valuable in settlement agreements, dispute resolutions, and situations where formal documentation of a release is crucial for legal certainty.
