Indiana Affidavit of Occupancy and Financial Status
About this form
The Affidavit of Occupancy and Financial Status is a legal document that buyers use at closing to affirm their intention to occupy the purchased property as their primary residence. This form also confirms that there have been no changes to the buyer's financial situation since their loan application was submitted. It is distinct from other affidavits as it specifically addresses both occupancy and financial affirmation needed for specific loan types, such as those backed by the Federal Housing Administration or the Department of Veterans Affairs.

- Property address: The specific location of the property being purchased.
- Certification of occupancy: Indicates whether the buyer will occupy the property and by when.
- Financial status declaration: States that there have been no significant changes in the buyer's financial situation since the loan application.
- Consequences of non-compliance: Outlines potential legal repercussions for failing to occupy the property as stated.
