The Maine Jurisdictional Affidavit is a legal document that is used to establish the jurisdiction of a court in the state of Maine. It is typically filed in the court of record when a party wishes to initiate a civil suit in Maine. It must be signed under oath by the party or parties initiating the suit and may be used to establish the jurisdiction of the court to hear the case. There are two types of Maine Jurisdictional Affidavit: the Personal Jurisdiction Affidavit and the Long Arm Statute Affidavit. The Personal Jurisdiction Affidavit is used to establish the court's jurisdiction to hear a case when a party is from outside of Maine or is a non-resident of Maine. It must include the name and address of the party initiating the suit, along with any other relevant facts that would establish the court's authority to hear the case. The Long Arm Statute Affidavit is used when a party from outside of Maine has performed an act in Maine that is relevant to the case. It must include the name and address of the party initiating the suit, the act that was performed in Maine, and any other relevant facts that would establish the court's authority to hear the case. Both types of Maine Jurisdictional Affidavit must be signed under oath by the party or parties initiating the suit.
