You basically type it up yourself and then it has to be signed and witnessed by a solicitor. It has to start STATUTORY DECLARATION "I....(name and address) do solemnly and sincerely declare that ...xyz... At the end, you have to have this statement as well: I make this solemn declaration by virtue of the Statutory Declarations Act 1835 as amended and subject to the penalties provided by that Act for the making of false statements in statutory declarations, conscientiously believing the statements contained in this declaration to be true in every particular. Signed (you) Declared at On (date) Before me (solicitor) We rang around for a few prices and £5 was the cheapest. We ended up paying £20 though, after the solicitor changed a few things. But worth £20 as it had to be done. Good luck - I hope this has helped! From Catherine Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Ari3139 Posted February 12, 2011 Share Posted February 12, 2011 Hi, we did the same for the business too and just followed the above start and finish. Include as much information as you can just to cover yourself as there is no extra charge the length of the document. Our solicitor charged £5 so a bargin.

ozzbound Posted February 13, 2011 Share Posted February 13, 2011 Get the solicitor to check the legal wording of the document as our case officer didn't like the wording of the solicitor we used and told us to buy a stat dec from the post office!!?:err: I had to email her (very politely!) explaining that was not how it worked in the UK and went to a different solicitor who got out her law books and did it word for word from that we also photocopied the page of the lawbook and sent it to the case officer! :yes: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
