New Jersey Official Affidavit Forms

New Jersey affidavit forms are widely used in legal proceedings and are recognized by courts in the state. You may benefit from an Affidavit of Consideration (Form RTF-1) to avoid paying the fee during property transfer or Form L-8 to release assets to the beneficiaries.

New Jersey Affidavit of Consideration (RTF-1) must be filed with the deed when transferring ownership of real property in New Jersey. This form is used to report the amount of consideration paid for the property. This information is vital for determining the appropriate property transfer tax due to New Jersey regulations (unless the transfer meets an exemption). The form requires detailed information about the parties involved in the property transfer, as well as the amount of money paid for the property.

New Jersey Form L-8 (Affidavit for Non-Real Estate Investments) is an affidavit for individuals or entities exempt from paying the state’s withholding tax on non-real estate investments. The form is meant to be filled out by entities that have either no New Jersey tax liability or qualify for a reduced withholding tax rate. It is used to disclose and report the investment income of a non-resident individual or entity.

What to Prepare Before You Start

Gather a few details before you start and the questionnaire goes much faster. Having everything in front of you also helps you avoid typing mistakes in names, dates, and addresses. Here is what to have ready.

  • A photo ID to check the spelling of your name against
  • The full names and addresses of everyone mentioned in your statement
  • The dates and key details of the facts you want to state
  • Any reference numbers from related documents, such as a deed or a case number

  • A blank line left unfilled
  • Dates written in different formats
  • No saved copy, so the document is hard to find later
