Is an e-signature legally valid?

Yes. Electronic signatures meet legal requirements under the ESIGN Act (15 U.S.C. ch. 96) and state UETA statutes when intent, consent, attribution, and record retention requirements are satisfied.

When is notarization required?

Notarization depends on document type and state law; deeds, certain affidavits, and some statutory forms often require a notary acknowledgement or witness per the applicable state secretary of state rules.

Can I correct a signed document?

Corrections after execution require agreement of all parties and, if signed electronically, a new signed amendment or initialed change; preserve original audit trails to show intent.

Is Remote Online Notarization allowed?

Many states permit RON with identity proofing and audio-video recording; verify the state notary commission for exact requirements before relying on RON for notarized acknowledgements.

How long should I keep executed copies?

Retain executed agreements for at least the active term plus 3 years; follow federal minima such as IRC §6501(a) for tax records and 45 CFR §164.530(j) for HIPAA-related records.

What if a signer lacks a TIN?

Obtain a completed W-9 when required; missing or incorrect TINs can trigger IRS backup withholding and penalties for the payer under information return rules.
