The topic of this article is a brief discussion of the requirements for an affidavit or declaration in the State of California. Any party who has been served with a motion, opposition, or other pleading that contains an affidavit or declaration should carefully review it to determine if it does Professional Landscaping in Seattle WA in fact meet California requirements for a declaration.
California allows the use of a declaration instead of, or in lieu of, an affidavit. The relevant Affordable Hair Service in Bakersfield, CA 93307 code section is Code of Civil Procedure Section 2015.5.
The key thing to remember is the fact that a declaration signed outside of California that does not state that, "I certify (or declare) under penalty of perjury under the laws of the State of California that the foregoing is true and correct." does not conform with California law, namely Section 2015.5, and should be objected to on that basis.

Unless a statement is Professional Tree Service In Napa CA specifically made on information and belief it will be required that facts be shown as to how the person making the statement has personal knowledge of the facts. Otherwise the opposing party may object to the affidavit or declaration on the grounds of a lack of personal knowledge.

The author sincerely hopes that you have enjoyed this article.
