Can this be e-signed?

Yes. Electronic signatures are generally enforceable under the ESIGN Act (15 U.S.C. ch. 96) and UETA where adopted, provided the signer's intent, consent to transact electronically, attribution, and record retention requirements are met.

What if a party's name is wrong?

Make corrections before signing. A material name mismatch can impede tax reporting or payments and may trigger backup withholding at 24%. Reissue the corrected document with supporting identity records to minimize processing delays and reconcile ledger entries.

Is notarization required?

Notarization depends on jurisdiction and the document's legal role. Some jurisdictions require notary acknowledgement or witness signatures for real property or power-of-attorney documents. RON is permissible in many states with identity proofing and audio-video recording retained per state rules.

How to correct after signing?

Minor typographical errors can be corrected by an initialed amendment signed by all parties. Substantive changes require a written amendment or replacement document signed by all signatories; unilateral edits risk disputes and may void reliance on the original.

Retain for at least three years; longer for tax, HIPAA, or contract-specific schedules. IRS requires 3 years (IRC §6501(a)); HIPAA requires 6 years (45 CFR §164.530(j)). Check state rules for longer periods.

Authorized signatories defined by corporate bylaws or agency authority should sign. For companies, a corporate officer with delegated authority or an authorized representative can bind the entity. Verify signing authority in resolutions or board minutes when needed.
