I am not sure what difference there would be, other than an affidavit being a sworn statement and a WS having a “statement of truth”. Practically speaking, I would have thought that there is no material difference from the Registry’s standpoint if a solicitor (as an officer of the court) is making the statement. The key, though, is to ask the Probate Registry what they will accept. There is no point sending a WS if the PR actually wants an affidavit.
