(jur-at) n. Latin for "been sworn," the portion of an affidavit in which a person
has sworn that the contents of his/her written statement are true, filled in by
the notary public with the date, name of the person swearing, sometimes the place
where sworn, and the name of the person before whom the oath was made. It reads
generally "Sworn to this 12th day of October, 1994, by Martha J. Milner, before
me, a notary public for said state and county. Barbara A. Stenerson, Notary Public.
" A jurat is not to be confused with an "acknowledgment" in which the signer of
a document such as a deed to real property has sworn to the notary public that he/she
executed the document, and the notary signs and seals the document to that effect.
