Can the Kit be signed electronically?

Yes in most circumstances. Electronic signatures meeting ESIGN Act standards (15 U.S.C. §7001) and state UETA rules are acceptable unless the specific filing or statute excludes electronic execution.

When is notarization required?

Notarization depends on the document type and recipient. Deeds and some affidavits commonly require notarization; verify the recipient’s rules and state notary law before submission.

What supporting documents are necessary?

Include police reports, medical records, invoices, photos, and estimates. Missing original or certified records may delay adjudication or lead to requests for supplemental proof.

How do I correct an error after submission?

Notify the recipient in writing, submit an amended Kit with clear versioning, and retain evidence of both submissions and any acknowledgement of receipt.

Who can sign for a company or organization?

A person with express authority such as an officer, authorized representative, or attorney-in-fact may sign. Document the authority with a corporate resolution or power of attorney if requested.

How long should completed Kits be retained?

Retain completed Kits per applicable standards: typically a minimum of 3 years for tax-related records and up to 6 years for HIPAA-regulated healthcare records.
