Owner Identity
Full legal name, business legal entity name if applicable, mailing address, and contact information to unambiguously identify the declarant.
A clear Owner Statement reduces disputes by documenting facts, signatures, and dates; it supports title or lien searches and satisfies counterparties requiring written attestations. When executed correctly, an electronic Owner Statement is legally enforceable under the ESIGN Act (15 U.S.C. ch. 96) and UETA in most states, provided intent, consent, attribution, and retention requirements are met.
Common users range from individual property owners to corporate officers and third-party agents who must certify ownership or control.
Identify the person with legal authority to sign; corporate signers often require a board resolution or corporate authorization to confirm signing authority.
| Field | Configuration |
|---|---|
| Signature Order | Define sequential or parallel signer order to match transaction needs. |
| Authentication | Use email plus SMS or knowledge-based authentication for higher assurance. |
| Expiration | Set link expiration (e.g., 30 days) to reduce stale agreements. |
| Template Name | Save a reusable template labeled by transaction type. |
Choose a platform that supports secure audit trails, conditional fields, and the authentication strength your transaction requires.
Ensure the chosen platform supports ESIGN/UETA compliance, preserves an immutable audit trail, and stores records with appropriate encryption and access controls for retention requirements.
Full legal name, business legal entity name if applicable, mailing address, and contact information to unambiguously identify the declarant.
