It's called "continuous marriage affidavit". It's not quite what we were led to believe. Summary:
  • As of settlement date we are legally married to each other
  • We have at all times been so since 8/1/2001 (no idea why this date)
  • we understand this statement of marriage is being relied upon by xxx title company
  • we indemnify and hold harmless xxx title company for all claims...etc that may arise as a result of any falsehood as to our marital status.


What the notary said as she handed it to me was "This signifies your intention to stay continuously married to each other" I was tempted, for a split second, to sign with a huge flourish and drama wink W, as I said, seemed happy to sign it.
