The Non-Imputation Affidavit is a crucial document in Swiss business transactions, particularly in real estate and insurance contexts. It is typically required when a party needs formal assurance that another party has no knowledge of adverse conditions, claims, or circumstances that could materially affect a transaction. The document, governed by Swiss law, includes specific declarations about the affiant's knowledge during a defined period, their capacity to make such declarations, and acknowledgment of legal consequences under Swiss federal and cantonal laws. The Non-Imputation Affidavit is particularly important in title insurance transactions, property transfers, and corporate real estate dealings, where the potential for undisclosed issues could significantly impact the transaction's value or validity. The document must comply with Swiss notarial requirements and includes provisions for criminal liability in case of false statements.
