About this document
By definition, a statutory declaration tells a unique story. There can thus be no template which provides a precise story applicable to your own situation. We have therefore provided as one document, three different example declarations.
From the example text given, you will have some idea how to frame your own story.
In particular, examples and advice are given on the opening and closing words.
The three examples given relate to:
- The validity of a document in a litigation matter;
- The position of a disputed boundary in a garden;
- Lost title deeds.
Note: lawyers often refer loosely to “an oath” or “swearing”. Oaths are occasionally required, but more often than not, they mean a “declaration” which is “declared” not “sworn”.

Review of the Australian version
It was very easy to make contact and the response was spot on.
Thank you. The form was easy to use thank you for supplying the form. I am not too computer savvy but found it easy to us.

Review of the Australian version
I had no concern about using Net Lawman as I have purchased a number of your documents in the past & those documents are now entrenched as an integral part of the contract with our customers.
Contracts use simple English language, are jurisdictionally unique & capture the substance of the agreement with our customer. We feel safe in our dealings. Question is will it stand up to challenge? I believe so but we haven't had to enforce our NL contracts to date. So yet to be determined but very confident that for a small business dealing with small business it'll keep us in good stead if we have to test it.
NL documents give us confidence & pride in our presentation to customers. They look & read professionally, they set down clearly the intention of the parties, the price is very reasonable. We could not afford to pay $5k to a legal firm to draft a contract for us & would have had to continue to rely on exchange of letters/emails as the basis of our contracts.
I would recommend Net Lawman to others because of the ease, convenience, price, professionalism & confidence.
