Is an electronic signature legally binding?

Yes. Electronic signatures meet legal equivalence under the ESIGN Act (15 U.S.C. §7001) and are accepted under UETA in most states, provided intent, consent, attribution, and retention requirements are met.

When do I need a notary or witnesses?

Certain instruments (wills, some powers of attorney, and some real estate documents) may require notarization or witnesses; requirements vary by state and document type, so verify with the applicable state authority.

Can I e-sign healthcare-related fields?

You may electronically sign healthcare documents, but HIPAA-covered transactions require appropriate safeguards and a signed BAA where PHI is exchanged, and patient disclosures must meet consent requirements.

What happens if a signer uses a different name?

Mismatched signer names can delay enforcement and payment; always use the legal name that matches ID or formation documents and include title or capacity when signing for entities.

How should I store the executed document?

Retain the signed record with an audit trail in a secure, access-controlled repository; federal baselines apply (IRS 3 years, HIPAA 6 years) and state rules may require longer retention.

How do I correct a signed error?

Do not alter an executed copy. Prepare an amendment or corrective agreement signed by all parties, or re-execute a corrected document with clear reference to the original.
