Is an electronic signature legally binding?

Yes. Electronic signatures are legally enforceable under the federal ESIGN Act (15 U.S.C. ch. 96, 2000) and state UETA statutes adopted by most states, provided intent, consent, attribution, and record retention requirements are met.

When is a notarization required?

Notarization depends on the document purpose and state law; property conveyances and some acknowledgements commonly require a notary. Check the receiving authority or state statute before execution.

Can the document be notarized remotely?

Remote online notarization (RON) is permitted in many states with identity proofing and audio-video recording; availability varies by state and notary rules, so verify with the state notary commission.

How do I correct a signed document?

Corrections after signing generally require a written amendment or replacement document signed by all parties; avoid altering executed originals without documented agreement from every signer.

What if a signer doesn't receive the email?

Check spam folders, verify the email address, and resend the signing link. For higher assurance, use SMS codes or alternate authentication methods to confirm receipt and identity.

How long should I keep the executed document?

Retain executed copies per applicable standards: at least 3 years for tax records (IRC §6501(a)), 6 years for HIPAA-related records (45 CFR §164.530(j)), and longer if state law or industry rules require it.
