What is Affidavit of Correctness of Note & Non-Military Service – Jefferson Parish, LA?
The Affidavit of Correctness of Note & Non-Military Service is a sworn statement made before a notary in which the plaintiff gives the amount owed on a promissory note and says the defendants are not in U.S. or allied military service.
The title printed on the PDF itself is "Affidavit of Correctness of Account and/or Note and Non-Military Service." It carries the caption of the 24th Judicial District Court for the Parish of Jefferson, State of Louisiana, with blanks for the case number, the division and the names of the parties.
In the body, the affiant states four things: that he is the plaintiff in the numbered cause; that he is familiar with the account of the defendant(s); that the plaintiff is the owner and holder (in due course), for value, of the promissory note sued upon; and that the true and correct amount owed on the note is a stated sum, plus interest and attorney's fees as prayed for, subject to a stated credit. A second paragraph says the defendant(s) are not in the military services of the United States of America nor in that of any of its allies. The affiant signs, and the notary completes the jurat.
The Jefferson Parish Clerk of Court, the clerk's office for the parish, lists this form in its Affidavits group next to a separate Affidavit of Non-Military Service, an Affidavit of No Minor Children and an Affidavit of Non-Covenant Marriage. This one combines the note statements with the non-military statement. The Clerk describes its forms as samples for use by qualified notaries or attorneys only.
Who needs to file Affidavit of Correctness of Note & Non-Military Service – Jefferson Parish, LA?
The main users are plaintiffs in a suit on a promissory note pending in the 24th Judicial District Court for the Parish of Jefferson, who need an affiant to swear to the amount owed and to the defendants' non-military status. The form is worded for the plaintiff's side: the affiant says he is the plaintiff, is familiar with the defendant's account, and that the plaintiff owns and holds the note.
The Clerk of Court states that its forms are samples intended for use by qualified notaries or attorneys only. Clerk of Court employees are prohibited from giving legal advice or helping to complete any form, so questions about whether this affidavit fits a case go to an attorney.
The form is not a stand-alone document. It refers to "the above entitled and numbered cause," so it needs an existing case with a number and division. It also needs a notary: the affiant swears and subscribes before a Notary Public, and the form has no signature line for anyone else.
When to file Affidavit of Correctness of Note & Non-Military Service – Jefferson Parish, LA
The form is completed when the plaintiff needs to swear to the amount due on the note and to the defendants' non-military status in a case already filed in the 24th Judicial District Court. No due date is printed on it, and the Clerk of Court's forms page sets none for this affidavit.
The affidavit is only valid once the affiant has signed and the notary has completed the jurat ("Sworn to and subscribed before me this ___ day of _, 20"), so schedule the signing before the notary first. The Clerk's forms page adds that all documents must be submitted with the appropriate fees, so plan for that when you submit it with your case filings.
