Entity Identification
Legal entity name, principal office address, and state of formation to tie the signature page to the correct corporate record and filing.
A complete, correctly executed signature page establishes who authorized dissolution, when it became effective, and creates a verifiable record for filing and third parties. Under the ESIGN Act (15 U.S.C. §7001) and state UETA statutes, properly executed electronic signature records can be legally enforceable when they meet intent, consent, attribution, and retention requirements.
Organizations and representatives who file dissolution documents prepare the signature page before submitting it to the Secretary of State or other filing authority.
Ensure the signers match the entity’s governing documents and any board or member resolutions authorizing dissolution.
