What is in the declaration template

Your download includes these files:

• Declaration (DOCX)

Each file is editable, so you can type your own information straight into it. In addition, every template is general and is not tied to any one court.

How to use the declaration template

State one fact per numbered paragraph, from your own personal knowledge. State courts may require different wording; check your state’s statute or rule before using this signature block.

First, read your court’s rules so you know what the finished document must contain. Next, fill in your own information. Then compare the result with the rules one more time before you file or serve anything.

Check your court’s rules first

Courts set their own formatting and filing rules. For example, they may set margins, font size, line spacing and page limits. Also, many courts publish their own mandatory forms, and you must use those where they exist. Federal rules are available from the federal judiciary. For state courts, start with our state procedures guide.
