Understanding the Legalities of Electronic Signature for Planning in Australia

How to eSign a document: electronic signature lawfulness for Planning in Australia

hi there it's Camille here just wanting to provide an update on the science of electronic execution of documents in the myths of copán 19 so good news is today there was new legislation introduced to allow for electronic execution this legislation allows documents including wills powers of attorney during guardianship deeds or agreements affidavits and statutory declarations sorry covers a wide range of documents what it essentially allows for is the solicitor to meet with the client via audio-visual link to explain the document and confirm the instructions and then the client can sign in front on that audio-visual link in front of this solicit off as they would normally do in person if them provides measures for the witness to sign the document which there's a few different options there which we can obviously canvas with you if it is required so if you've been putting off either getting your estate planning documents done or signing another document such as a date or an affidavit then now you can do this without the worry of having to come down to our office or to a solicitor's office as it can be done by our video link which is great news which will allow our clients to continue to get get their matters progressing along whilst we recover from this crisis that's coming on at the moment so please get in touch if you have any questions on that or need any documents witnessed in that manner electronically
