What Is an Affidavit of Adjoining Owners?
An Affidavit of Adjoining Owners is a sworn declaration by the owners of properties directly adjacent to a subject lot, confirming that: (1) they have been notified of the survey or boundary setting; (2) the boundaries of the subject lot as surveyed are accurate; and (3) they have no adverse claim, dispute, or objection to the subject lot's boundaries.
This affidavit is a key supporting document in Philippine land registration and titling proceedings, designed to prevent boundary disputes from surfacing after the issuance of title.
When Is It Required?
- Original land registration — LRA requirement for original proceedings under PD 1529
- Free patent applications — DENR-LMB/PENRO requires it for public land patent titling
- Subdivision plan approval — lot owners whose boundaries change must obtain consent of affected neighbors
- Consolidation of lots — LRA may require confirmation from remaining neighbors
- Cadastral survey — the DENR surveyor may require signed boundary confirmation
