I bought a house in the City of Pasadena 5 years ago. From the time that I bought it the house says it either been rented or vacant. I have not lived in that house. I have improved the house by constructing a retaining wall that was needed that cost me $40,000 to construct. I am not planning to use the sale of the house to purchase another house. I paid 1 million dollars for the house. 2 years ago I paid off the mortgage on the house which was $300,000. I borrowed this money from my niece. I am now selling the house for 1 million $300,000. I do not want to pay any capital gains that I am not legally liable for. Please provide information in a way that a five-year-old can understand that will enable me to successfully pay only the capital gains that I am legally liable for. Before answering this initial question please Ask me any questions that you need the answers for in order to fully answer the initial question.
Based on the information you provided, you are selling a house that you bought for $1,000,000 and improved by constructing a retaining wall that cost you $40,000. You paid off the mortgage of $300,000 two years ago, and you are now selling the house for $1,300,000. You are concerned about paying only the capital gains that you are legally liable for.
Capital gains tax is a tax on the profit you make when you sell an asset, such as a house. The amount of capital gains tax you owe depends on how much profit you made and how long you owned the asset. If you owned the house for more than one year before selling it, you will be subject to long-term capital gains tax rates, which are generally lower than short-term capital gains tax rates.
To calculate your capital gains tax, you will need to determine your “basis” in the house. Your basis is the amount you paid for the house, plus any improvements you made, minus any depreciation you claimed on the house. In your case, your basis would be $1,040,000 ($1,000,000 purchase price + $40,000 improvement cost).
To calculate your capital gains, you will need to subtract your basis from the sale price of the house. In your case, your capital gains would be $260,000 ($1,300,000 sale price - $1,040,000 basis).
If you owned the house for more than one year before selling it, you will be subject to long-term capital gains tax rates. For 2023, the long-term capital gains tax rates are 0%, 15%, or 20%, depending on your income tax bracket
To determine your exact capital gains tax liability, you will need to consult with a tax professional or use tax software. However, based on the information you provided, it appears that you would owe long-term capital gains tax on the $260,000 profit you made from the sale of the house.

Do you plan to use the sale of the house to purchase another house?

Answers:
I have owned the house for 5 years.
I have not lived in the house since I bought it.
I constructed a retaining wall that cost me $40,000.
The improvements cost me $40,000.
I do not plan to use the sale of the house to purchase another house.
I paid $1 million for the house.
The mortgage on the house is $300,000.
I owe my niece $300,000.
I am selling the house for $1.3 million.
Explanation:
The capital gains tax is a tax on the profit you make when you sell an asset. In this case, the asset is your house. The profit, or gain, is the difference between the amount you sell the house for and the amount you paid for it.
In your case, you paid $1 million for the house and you are selling it for $1.3 million. This means that you have made a gain of $300,000. However, you are not liable for capital gains tax on the entire $300,000 gain.
There are two reasons for this. First, you are allowed to exclude up to $250,000 of gain from the sale of your home if you are single and up to $500,000 of gain if you are married filing jointly. In your case, since you are single, you can exclude $250,000 of your gain from the sale of your home.
Second, you can also deduct the cost of any improvements you made to the house from your gain. In your case, you spent $40,000 on a retaining wall. This means that you can deduct $40,000 from your gain.
After applying these two deductions, your taxable gain is $300,000 - $250,000 - $40,000 = $10,000. This means that you will only have to pay capital gains tax on $10,000 of your gain.
The capital gains tax rate is 15% for most people. This means that you will owe $1,500 in capital gains tax on the sale of your home.

Got it! To help you figure out how much capital gains tax you owe, I need a few details. Did you make any other improvements to the house besides the retaining wall? Also, have you been keeping track of all the expenses related to the property, like property taxes, insurance, and any other costs?

Did you make any other improvements to the house besides the retaining wall? I improve the Landscaping which cost me $4,000. Outside of that only regular repairs and maintenance for a 70 year old house. Also, have you been keeping track of all the expenses related to the property, like property taxes, insurance, and any other costs? All of these expenses I have receipts for including property tax insurance and other cost.

Great, thanks for the details! To figure out the capital gains tax you owe, you'll need to calculate the adjusted basis of your house. The adjusted basis is the original purchase price plus the cost of improvements and certain expenses you've incurred.
For your situation, start with the original purchase price of $1,000,000. Then add the cost of improvements, which includes the $40,000 for the retaining wall and the $4,000 for landscaping. This gives you a total of $1,044,000 as your adjusted basis.
When you sell the house for $1,300,000, you'll subtract your adjusted basis from the selling price to determine your capital gains. In this case, $1,300,000 - $1,044,000 = $256,000 in capital gains.
Now, if this property has been your primary residence for at least two of the past five years, you may qualify for a capital gains exclusion. This exclusion allows individuals to exclude up to $250,000 ($500,000 for married couples filing jointly) of capital gains from the sale of their primary residence.
However, since you haven't lived in the house, this exclusion may not apply to you. In that case, the $256,000 in capital gains would be subject to capital gains tax. The capital gains tax rate can vary depending on your income tax bracket and the duration you've held the property.
To ensure you accurately calculate and pay only the capital gains tax you owe, consider consulting with a tax professional or accountant. They can provide tailored advice based on your specific situation and help minimize your tax liability within the bounds of the law.

Before answering this initial question please Ask me any questions that you need the answers for in order to fully answer the initial question.
Thank you for providing the details. To help you understand and manage your capital gains taxes in a simple way, let's break it down step by step:
1. **Initial Investment:**
- You bought the house for $1 million.
2. **Improvements Made:**
- You spent $40,000 on a retaining wall.
- You spent $4,000 on landscaping.
3. **Mortgage Payoff:**
- You initially borrowed $300,000 from your niece to pay off the mortgage.
4. **Current Selling Price:**
- You are selling the house for $1,300,000.
Now, let's calculate the capital gains:
\[ \text{Capital Gains} = \text{Selling Price} - (\text{Initial Investment} + \text{Improvements} + \text{Other Costs}) \]
\[ \text{Capital Gains} = \$1,300,000 - (\$1,000,000 + \$40,000 + \$4,000 + \text{Other Costs}) \]
The "Other Costs" would include any additional costs related to the sale, such as real estate agent fees, legal fees, etc. Make sure to include those.
If the result is a positive number, that is your capital gain. However, there are some exemptions and deductions you can consider:
1. **Primary Residence Exclusion:**
- If you lived in the house for at least two out of the last five years, you might qualify for the primary residence exclusion. Since you mentioned you haven't lived in the house, this might not apply to you.
2. **Improvement Costs:**
- The costs of improvements, like the retaining wall and landscaping, can be added to your home's cost basis, reducing the capital gains.
3. **Other Selling Costs:**
- Deduct any other costs associated with selling the house.
Once you've calculated the capital gains and considered any deductions/exclusions, you'll have a better idea of the amount on which you might be subject to capital gains tax.
Please consult with a tax professional for accurate advice tailored to your specific situation, as tax laws can be complex and can vary. They can provide guidance on potential deductions and the most advantageous way to handle the sale for your unique circumstances.

Before answering this initial question please Ask me any questions that you need the answers for in order to fully answer the initial question.
I'm not a tax professional, but I can try to provide some general information that may help you understand the concept of capital gains and how they are calculated. However, it's important to consult with a tax advisor or accountant who can provide personalized advice based on your specific situation.
1. What is capital gains tax?
Capital gains tax is a type of tax you may need to pay when you sell an asset, such as a house, for a profit. It is calculated based on the difference between the purchase price (also known as the cost basis) of the house and the selling price.
2. How is the cost basis determined?
The cost basis of your house is generally the amount you paid for it when you bought it, which in your case is $1 million. However, certain expenses like the cost of improvements, such as the retaining wall and landscaping, can be added to the cost basis. Regular repairs and maintenance are typically not included.
3. What are improvements?
Improvements are changes made to the property that increase its value or extend its useful life. In your case, the construction of the retaining wall and the landscaping improvements may be considered as improvements because they enhance the property.
4. How do improvements affect capital gains tax?
When you sell the house, the cost basis, including the improvements, will be subtracted from the selling price to determine the capital gain. In your case, if the selling price is $1,300,000 and your cost basis is $1,044,000 ($1,000,000 + $40,000 + $4,000), then your capital gain would be $256,000 ($1,300,000 - $1,044,000).
5. Are there any deductions or exemptions?
There are certain deductions and exemptions that may help reduce your capital gains tax liability. For example, if you've lived in the house as your primary residence for at least two of the past five years before selling, you may qualify for the Primary Residence Exclusion. This exclusion can reduce or eliminate your capital gains tax liability up to a certain limit. However, since you mentioned that you haven't lived in the house, this exemption may not apply to your situation.
6. How much tax will I have to pay on the capital gain?
The tax rate on capital gains depends on various factors, including your income level and the duration for which you held the asset. It's important to consult with a tax professional who can help you determine the applicable tax rate and any deductions or exemptions you may qualify for.
Remember, this is just general information, and the actual tax implications can be complex. It's always advisable to consult with a tax advisor or accountant who can provide personalized advice based on your specific situation and help you navigate the tax requirements.

Before answering this initial question please Ask me any questions that you need the answers for in order to fully answer the initial question.
Based on the details you've provided, it sounds like you may be eligible for a tax exclusion on the capital gains from the sale of your house. Here's a simple breakdown that a five-year-old can understand:
Imagine your house is like a big chocolate bar. When you bought the chocolate bar for $1 million, you put some extra toppings on it (like the retaining wall and landscaping) that made it even better. Now, when you sell the chocolate bar for $1.3 million, you want to make sure you only pay taxes on the extra $300,000 you made, not the whole $1.3 million.
To do this, you need to know about something called "capital gains." It's like when you trade your toy for a better one – you made a little extra, right? But the good news is, if you've lived in the chocolate bar for at least 2 of the past 5 years, you might not have to pay taxes on the extra money you made.
So, the most important thing is to check if you've lived in the chocolate bar for at least 2 of the past 5 years. If you have, you might be able to keep more of your extra money from selling the chocolate bar without paying extra taxes.
Remember, it's always good to talk to a grown-up who knows about money stuff, like a tax professional, to help you with this. They can help make sure you only pay what you're supposed to and keep more of your chocolate bar money for yourself!

I bought a house for $1,000,000 five years ago. At that time I took out a mortgage for $400,000. Two years after I bought the house I borrowed $300,000 from my niece and paid off that balance due on the mortgage. I told my niece that I will put instructions in the escrow to pay her the money that she lent me when the house is sold. I am selling the house for 1,400,000 and I want to know if the money i owe her is paid out of escrow Is considered an expense and deducted from the gross sale price of the house. If it is deducted then will I have to pay any capital gains for that amount
I am not a tax or financial advisor, but I can provide some general information that may help you understand the situation. Please consult with a professional tax advisor for specific advice tailored to your circumstances.
When selling a house, the general rule is that the capital gains tax is calculated based on the difference between the sale price and the cost basis of the property. The cost basis is typically the original purchase price plus any qualified improvements or expenses. However, when it comes to deducting the loan amount owed to your niece from the gross sale price, it may depend on the specific circumstances and applicable tax laws in your jurisdiction.
In some cases, if the loan from your niece is considered a genuine debt and there is evidence of a legitimate loan agreement, it may be treated as a deductible expense when calculating capital gains. This means that the loan amount owed to your niece would be deducted from the gross sale price of the house before calculating the capital gains. However, if the loan is not considered a genuine debt or there is no documentation to support it, it may not be deductible.
To understand the specific tax implications in your situation, it is advisable to consult with a tax professional who can provide guidance based on the relevant tax laws and regulations in your jurisdiction. They will be able to review the specifics of your case and provide accurate advice on how the loan from your niece may impact your capital gains tax liability.

I am selling my home in Pasadena for $1 million. I’ve paid $700,000 for it five years ago. When I bought the home I took out a mortgage for $400,000. Two years ago I borrowed money from my niece and I use her $300,000 to pay off the balance of the mortgage . I have documentation showing that my niece paid directly to the mortgage company the total due on the mortgage. I would like to use that payment as a expense and reduce my capital gains. Please specify the steps I have to take To do this
I am not a tax professional, but I can provide some general information on how you might handle this situation. It's always a good idea to consult with a tax professional or accountant for personalized advice based on your specific circumstances.
1. Gather Documentation: Collect all relevant documents related to the purchase of your home, including the purchase agreement, mortgage statements, and any paperwork related to the loan from your niece. These documents will be important for substantiating your claims.
2. Determine Eligibility: Consult with a tax professional to determine if you qualify for a deduction on the capital gains tax. Tax laws and regulations can change, so it's important to get up-to-date advice.
3. Calculate Capital Gains: Calculate your capital gains by subtracting your original purchase price (including any purchase-related expenses) from the selling price. In this case, the capital gain would be $1 million - $700,000 = $300,000.
4. Assess Eligibility for Deduction: Discuss with your tax professional whether the repayment of the mortgage using your niece's loan may be considered an expense that can be deducted from the capital gains. They will review the documentation to determine if it meets the necessary criteria.
5. Report the Transaction: If your tax professional determines that you're eligible for the deduction, they will guide you on how to report the transaction correctly on your tax return. They may advise you to include the relevant documentation when filing your taxes to support your claim.
To instruct the escrow company to pay off the $300,000 to your niece from the sale of your home, you will need to follow these steps:
1. Communicate your intention: Inform the escrow officer or the representative handling your escrow process about your desire to repay your niece the $300,000 from the proceeds of the sale. This can typically be done through email, phone call, or in-person communication.
2. Provide documentation: Present the necessary documentation to the escrow company to support your request. This will usually include the documentation that shows your niece paid off the mortgage balance directly to the mortgage company. This documentation is important to substantiate the transaction and ensure the proper allocation of funds.
3. Coordinate with your niece: Coordinate with your niece to provide any documentation or information required by the escrow company. They may need to verify her identity and banking details to ensure a smooth transfer of funds.
4. Review the escrow instructions: Carefully review the escrow instructions provided by the escrow company. These instructions will outline the specific details of the transaction, including the disbursement of funds. Confirm that the repayment to your niece is accurately reflected in the instructions.
5. Sign necessary documents: Sign any documents required by the escrow company to authorize the repayment to your niece. This may include a specific authorization or instruction form.
6. Follow up with the escrow company: Stay in touch with the escrow company to ensure that the repayment to your niece is carried out as instructed. They will typically provide you with updates on the progress of the escrow process and inform you when the funds are disbursed.
It's important to note that the specific process may vary depending on the escrow company, so it's advisable to communicate directly with them to understand their requirements and procedures for handling such transactions.

Answer
To be considered an expense that can be deducted from the capital gains, the loan from your niece must meet the criteria of being both ordinary and necessary. According to Charles Harker & Company, CPAS, "To be deductible, a business expense must be both ordinary and necessary" Additionally, the Franchise Tax Board of California states that "All taxpayers must report gains and losses from the sale or exchange of capital assets. California does not have a lower rate for capital gains. All capital gains are taxed as ordinary income" Therefore, the loan can be considered an expense deductible from the capital gains if it meets the criteria of being ordinary and necessary.

To determine if the loan from your niece can be considered an expense that can be deducted from the capital gains when selling the house, there are several criteria that need to be met. Here are the necessary criteria:
1. Loan Purpose:
The loan must have been used for a valid purpose related to the house, such as purchasing, improving, or maintaining the property. In your case, since you used the loan to pay off the mortgage balance, it can be considered a valid purpose.
2. Documentation:
There should be proper documentation of the loan, including a written agreement between you and your niece outlining the terms and conditions of the loan. This agreement should clearly state that the loan will be repaid when the house is sold.
3. Interest:
The loan should have an appropriate interest rate. If the loan is interest-free or has an interest rate below the market rate, the IRS may consider it a gift rather than a loan, which could affect the deductibility of the loan.
4. Repayment Terms:
The loan should have a reasonable repayment schedule. It should specify the amount and frequency of the repayments. If there is no repayment schedule or the terms are not reasonable, it may impact the deductibility of the loan.
5. Escrow Instructions:
As you mentioned, you have instructed the escrow to pay your niece the money she lent you when the house is sold. This is an important step to ensure that the loan is properly accounted for and can be deducted from the capital gains.

Based on my research, the criteria for a loan to be considered an expense that can be deducted from the capital gains are as follows
You must be legally liable for the loan debt.
You must have proof of repayment.
You must show a true debtor-creditor relationship with the lender.
The funds must have been spent on something for your business, not just kept in a bank account.
However, it is important to note that capital gains are not tax-deductible 2. The capital gains rule is technically an exclusion, which means that profits from selling your home are taxed as income 2.
In your case, since you borrowed $300,000 from your niece to pay off the mortgage balance, you may be able to deduct the interest associated with the loan on your taxes if you meet the criteria mentioned above 1. However, the amount of the loan itself cannot be deducted from the capital gains 2.

The loan taken from your niece can potentially be considered an expense deductible from the capital gains, but there are several criteria to meet:
Documentation: Ensure there's clear documentation of the loan. This includes a promissory note or loan agreement specifying the terms, interest rate (if any), repayment schedule, and the total borrowed amount.
Interest: If there's an agreed-upon interest rate, the interest paid on the loan could potentially be deductible as an expense against the capital gains. However, if there's no interest or a below-market interest rate, it might raise questions with the IRS regarding the validity of the loan.
Purpose of the Loan: The borrowed amount must have been used to improve the property, maintain it, or directly relate to the property. In your case, you used the loan to pay off the mortgage on the house, which might qualify if documented appropriately.
Escrow Instructions: As you mentioned, having clear instructions in the escrow regarding the repayment to your niece upon the sale of the house is essential. It substantiates the purpose of the loan and its repayment terms.
Arm's Length Transaction: The loan terms should resemble those of a typical lender-borrower relationship to avoid scrutiny. This includes formalizing the loan with a written agreement and adhering to repayment schedules.
Legal Advice: Consult a tax professional or attorney to ensure all legal requirements are met to claim the loan as an expense against capital gains. They can provide tailored advice based on your situation and ensure compliance with tax laws.
Remember, while these criteria provide guidance, tax laws can be complex and subject to change. It's crucial to seek professional advice to ensure compliance and maximize any deductions appropriately.

The loan must be used for the purchase, improvement, or renovation of the house: In your case, you used the loan to pay off the mortgage balance, which can be considered an improvement of the house.
The loan must be secured by the house: As you mentioned, you put instructions in the escrow to pay your niece the money she lent you when the house is sold. This indicates that the loan is secured by the house.
The loan must be used solely for business purposes: If the house is used for business purposes, such as rental property or a home office, then the loan can be considered a business expense. However, if the house is used solely for personal purposes, the loan may not qualify as a deductible expense.
It is important to consult with a tax professional or accountant to ensure that you meet all the necessary criteria and understand the specific tax laws and regulations applicable to your situation.

I am not a tax professional, but I can provide some general information on the topic. To determine if the loan from your niece can be considered an expense that can be deducted from capital gains, you should consult with a tax advisor or accountant who can provide specific advice based on your individual circumstances and the tax laws applicable to your jurisdiction. However, here are some general considerations:
Purpose of the loan: The loan must have been used for a valid deductible purpose. Generally, loans used for investment purposes, such as acquiring or improving an investment property, may be eligible for deductions.
Documentation: It's important to have proper documentation for the loan, including a formal written agreement that outlines the terms and conditions, interest rate (if applicable), and repayment schedule. The agreement should clearly state that the loan was used for investment purposes.
Interest and repayment: If you're paying interest on the loan, ensure that the interest payments are made as agreed upon. Regular repayments of the principal loan amount may also be necessary to demonstrate that the loan exists and has been treated as a genuine debt.
Independent and arm's length transaction: The loan should be structured as an independent and arm's length transaction, meaning that it should be made on commercial terms that would be similar to a loan obtained from a financial institution. It's important to avoid any appearance of a gift or a non-genuine transaction.
Local tax regulations: Tax laws and regulations can vary by jurisdiction, so it's crucial to consult with a tax professional familiar with the specific rules in your area. They can provide guidance on the deductibility of the loan based on local tax laws.
Remember, this information is not tax advice. It's always best to consult with a qualified tax professional who can provide personalized advice based on your situation and the applicable tax laws.

In general, when it comes to deducting expenses from the capital gains on the sale of a house, there are specific criteria that need to be met for a loan to qualify as an expense:
Documentation: Ensure there's proper documentation of the loan. This includes a written agreement outlining the terms of the loan, such as the amount borrowed, interest rate (if any), repayment schedule, and any other relevant details.
Purpose of the Loan: The borrowed amount should have been used for the improvement, maintenance, or acquisition of the property. In your case, since you used the $300,000 to pay off the mortgage balance, it's crucial to have records showing that this amount was directly related to the house.
Interest and Repayment: If there's any interest associated with the loan, ensure it's reasonable and that you have records of interest payments made. Also, there should be evidence of regular repayments or a clear repayment schedule established between you and your niece.
Intent and Timing: The intention of the loan should not be solely for tax purposes. It should be a legitimate transaction with a genuine intent to borrow and repay. The timing of the loan should also align with the time it was necessary for the property.
Escrow Instructions: Your decision to instruct the escrow to pay your niece from the proceeds of the house sale is a good step. Ensure that these instructions are well-documented and provided to the escrow agent handling the sale.
Legal Consultation: It's always wise to seek advice from a tax professional or accountant well-versed in real estate transactions to ensure compliance with tax laws and to maximize deductions while staying within legal boundaries.
Remember, meeting these criteria doesn't guarantee a deduction; it's essential to have all the necessary documentation and meet the relevant legal and tax requirements. Always consult with a tax advisor or attorney for personalized advice based on your specific situation and the applicable tax laws at the time of the sale.

33-715. Payoff demands; definitions
A. On the written demand of an entitled person or that person's authorized agent, a secured lender shall prepare and deliver a payoff demand statement to the person who has requested it within fourteen days after receipt of the demand. Any written demand for a payoff demand statement prescribed in section 33-420.01 shall include a statement that the entitled person is acting as an agent of the borrower and that the line of credit is to be suspended.
B. The payoff demand statement shall provide the amounts required as of the date of preparation, include the information reasonably necessary to calculate the payoff amount on a per diem basis for a period of at least thirty days and include the following information:
1. The name and address of the person who or department that is to receive the payoff payment.
2. The name and address of the person who or department that is to receive the request to close the debt, line of credit or other obligation to pay.
3. The name and address of the person who or department that is to receive the request for release of lien.
C. The entitled person or that person's authorized agent may rely on a payoff demand statement for the purpose of establishing the amount necessary to pay the obligation in full and obtain a release of the mortgage or deed of trust that secures the obligation through and including the time set forth in the payoff demand statement. The entitled person must submit the payoff funds, instructions to close the revolving line of credit and request for release of lien to the secured lender as directed by the secured lender on the payoff demand statement prepared in conjunction with subsection B of this section.
D. The entitled person or that person's authorized agent may rely on an amended payoff demand statement if the secured lender delivers that amended payoff demand statement to the entitled person or that person's authorized agent before the earlier of:
1. The transfer of title to the mortgaged or trust property or any portion of the property.
2. The recordation of a mortgage or deed of trust describing the mortgaged or trust property or any portion of the property.
E. For notes created or renegotiated after August 22, 2002, any sums that were due the secured lender and that were not included in the payoff demand statement or in any amended statement constitute an unsecured obligation of the obligor pursuant to the terms of the note and are recoverable by the secured lender pursuant to the terms of the note and as otherwise provided by law.
F. A secured lender who willfully fails to prepare and deliver a payoff demand statement for fourteen or more days after receipt of a written demand is liable to the entitled person for all damages sustained for failure to deliver the statement. The secured lender is also liable to the entitled person for five hundred dollars whether or not actual damages are sustained. Each failure of the secured lender to prepare and deliver the payoff demand statement when required to do so pursuant to this section constitutes a separate cause of action. A judgment that awards an entitled person a forfeiture or damages, or both, for any failure to prepare and deliver a payoff demand statement bars recovery of any other damages or forfeiture for any other failure to prepare and deliver a statement with respect to the same obligation, if the other demand for the statement was made within six months before or after the demand was made that resulted in the award. For the purposes of this subsection, "willfully" means a failure to comply with this section without just cause or excuse.
G. If the secured lender has more than one branch, office or other place of business, the payoff statement demand shall be made to the branch or office address provided in the payment billing notice or payment book.

H. The demand for and preparation and delivery of a payoff demand statement pursuant to this section does not change any date or time period that is prescribed in the note or that is otherwise provided by law.
I. The secured lender may assess a fee of no more than thirty dollars for furnishing each payoff demand statement. This is conclusively presumed to be reasonable.
J. For the purposes of this section, unless the context otherwise requires:
1. "Deliver" or "delivery" means depositing or causing to be deposited into the United States mail an envelope with postage prepaid that contains a copy of the documents to be delivered and that is addressed to the person whose name and address are provided in the payoff demand. Delivery includes transmitting those documents by telefacsimile machine to the person. Delivery includes transmitting those documents electronically pursuant to title 44, chapter 26 if the payoff demand specifically requests and authorizes that the documents be transmitted in electronic form.
2.

The person making the statement must swear or affirm that the facts contained in the affidavit are true and correct to the best of their knowledge and belief.
Affidavits are considered to be reliable evidence in court, and they can be used to prove a variety of facts, including:

* Residency
* Age
* Income
* Employment
* Marital status
* Property ownership
* Vehicle ownership
