Can Attorney holder sign affidavit?

If a statute requires an affidavit to be signed personally by an owner, can his attorney holder still sign it on his behalf?

Yes. The attorney if duly authorised has power to sign the affidavit on behalf of owner in the capacity of being attorney.

Yes he can sign and depose in an affidavit however spa has to be drafted carefully for this.

If a statue requires then so be it. Affidavit is signed by the person who is swearing it. The question is about the content, an attorney holder cannot swear for the matters personally known to owner.
