A Massachusetts Registered Land Affidavit is a legal document used in Massachusetts to transfer title and ownership of real estate. It is typically used when a property is sold or transferred to a new owner in the state. The affidavit is a sworn statement signed by both the seller and the buyer and notarized by a public notary. It is then filed with the Registry of Deeds in the county where the property is located, and the deed is officially registered. There are two types of Massachusetts Registered Land Affidavits: "Cover Sheet" and "Standard Form". The Cover Sheet affidavit is used to transfer title without any changes to the existing deed, such as a change of name or address. The Standard Form affidavit is used to transfer title and make changes to the existing deed, such as a change of name or address. Both types of affidavits must include the names of the parties involved, the property address, the legal description of the property, and the consideration for the sale.
