Admission of execution by party to attested document

AI Assist

Summary

If a party to an attested document admits that they executed it, that admission alone is enough proof that they executed the document. The rule applies even when the law requires the document to be attested, so the admission binds the admitting party.

Example

Priya signs a lease agreement in front of witnesses. Later she tells the other party she signed it. Her admission is enough to prove she executed the lease, even though the law required the document to be attested.

Bare Act

Enacted text

The admission of a party to an attested document of its execution by himself shall be sufficient proof of its execution as against him, though it be a document required by law to be attested.
