Signer name
Full legal name as the signing legal entity or individual; must match government ID or corporate records to avoid ambiguity or rejection.
Signature pages confirm parties’ consent, establish execution dates, and provide evidence of authority and intent. Under the federal ESIGN Act (15 U.S.C. ch. 96) and state UETA statutes, electronic signatures are legally enforceable when intent, consent, attribution, and record retention are satisfied. Note standard exceptions where electronic execution is limited (for example wills, certain court filings, and some negotiable instruments).
Typical users include deal originators, borrowers, lenders, in-house counsel, and closing agents who need to finalize financial documents.
