An “Affidavit of Forgery" is a notarized, sworn statement, attesting that the signature appearing on it is indeed a forgery. The account holder MUST provide an Affidavit of Forgery before any criminal charges can be filed! An affidavit must accompany each forged or counterfeited item.
Examples. A bill is endorsed, “payable to X or order”. X endorses it in blank and it comes into the hands of Y, who simply delivers it to A. A would then forge Y's endorsement and transfers it to B.
Most states, including California, describe forgery as occurring when a person alters a written document "with the intent to defraud, knowing that he or she has no authority to do so." The written document usually has to be an instrument of legal significance.
How to prepare an affidavit? Speak in the first person. This personalizes your affidavit, giving your personal account and testimony. Remain concise. Keeping your message as short as possible helps you to clearly communicate your message, and can make it more impactful. Restate your claims. Notarize your affidavit.
