Overview
About this document
- 01
What is an affidavit of source of funds?
It is a sworn statement — also called a source of wealth declaration or proof of funds affidavit — describing where your money came from, such as employment income, savings, a gift, an inheritance, the sale of property, or business proceeds.
Financial institutions, lawyers, and regulated businesses use it to meet anti-money-laundering obligations and to satisfy themselves that funds are legitimate.
- 02
When you might need one
It is requested where the origin of money must be documented.
- A large deposit or transfer triggers a source-of-funds request.
- A real estate purchase or mortgage requires proof of where the money came from.
- A bank, lawyer, or regulated business runs AML or KYC checks.
- You must show that funds are from a legitimate source.
- 03
What to include
Identify the funds and clearly explain their source, with dates and amounts where you can. Keep supporting records — such as pay statements, sale documents, a gift declaration, or estate papers — available, as they are often requested alongside the affidavit.
