This advocate-reviewed template is available for download on wansom.ai and is intended for land proprietors, applicants in land registration matters, liquidators, trustees, personal representatives, advocates, and any parties required to provide sworn evidence in support of land transactions or applications. A statutory declaration is a formal statement made under oath before a Commissioner for Oaths, Magistrate, or Notary Public, affirming that the facts stated are true to the best of the declarant's knowledge.
The downloadable template provides a standardized format where the declarant identifies themselves, states the purpose of the declaration (typically in support of an application), and sets out the relevant facts in numbered paragraphs. The declaration concludes with the declarant affirming that they make the statement conscientiously, believing it to be true and in accordance with the Oaths and Statutory Declarations Act. The form must be executed before a Commissioner for Oaths, Magistrate, or Notary Public, who certifies the declaration by signing and dating the document. This legally compliant, ready-to-use template ensures proper documentation of sworn statements required in Kenya's land registration processes.
