An Affidavit of Lost Deed is a crucial legal instrument in Irish property law, used when original property deed documents have been lost, destroyed, or become unavailable. This document becomes necessary during property transactions, refinancing, or when updating property records with the Property Registration Authority of Ireland. The affidavit must detail the circumstances of the loss, verify ownership, and include comprehensive property information. It requires careful preparation and must be sworn before an authorized official, typically a Commissioner for Oaths or practicing solicitor. The document plays a vital role in maintaining the integrity of property records and facilitating property transactions despite the absence of original documentation. Its format and content must comply with Irish property law requirements and registration procedures.
