Estoppel Certificate Law and Legal Definition
Estoppel Certificate is a signed statement by a party certifying for another’s benefit that certain facts are correct. For example it can be made by a mortgagee setting out the terms, conditions, interest rate and principal outstanding or by a tenant in a building to be purchased setting out amount of rent, the amount of any rental deposit, etc. A party’s delivery of this certificate estops the other party from later claiming a different state of facts.
