The Owner Affidavit and Indemnity Agreement serves as a critical risk management tool in U.S. real estate transactions. This document is typically required by title insurance companies before issuing title insurance policies and is often used in property sales, refinancing, or other real estate transactions. It provides assurance to interested parties about the property's status and creates legal obligations for the owner to stand behind their statements. The agreement helps identify and address potential title issues while providing protection through indemnification provisions.
