Can I sign this electronically?

Yes. Electronic signatures are legally valid under the ESIGN Act (15 U.S.C. ch. 96) and UETA where adopted. Ensure the record shows intent to sign, signer consent, attribution, and reproducible retention to meet the legal four‑part validity test.

Is notarization always required?

Not always. Notarization depends on state law and document purpose. Certain instruments—such as some powers of attorney or deeds—require a notary and sometimes witnesses. Remote Online Notarization is permitted in many states subject to identity proofing and recording rules.

How do I revoke the authorization?

Revoke in writing and deliver notice to each counterparty and any financial institution relying on the authorization. Follow the governing state's requirements and retain proof of delivery; consult counsel for durable authorizations or recorded instruments.

Who is authorized to sign?

The named parties or their expressly delegated signatories must sign. For organizations, use an officer or an agent with documented authority such as a board resolution or power of attorney to avoid disputes over signer authority.

What are the most common completion errors?

Frequent errors include mismatched legal names, incorrect dates or amounts, missing exhibits, unsigned pages, and skipped notarization where required. These mistakes can delay payments, trigger withholding, or lead to contractual challenges.

How long must I keep executed copies?

Retain executed documents at least three years as a baseline; tax-related items follow IRC §6501(a). Healthcare-related records must be kept six years under 45 CFR §164.530(j). Check state or industry rules for longer retention requirements.
