DON’T ASK ANYBODY TO SIGN YOUR LAND OR BUSINESS DOCUMENTS FOR YOU

DON’T ASK ANYBODY TO SIGN YOUR LAND OR BUSINESS DOCUMENTS FOR YOU

Your signature is more than just ink. It’s your legal identity, your authority, your consent. In property and business transactions, your signature holds the power to bind or break a deal. Your signature cannot be delegated.

Too often, people fall into a dangerous error. You’re abroad, far from home, sick or simply unavailable and you tell someone close to you “sign on my behalf.”

It feels harmless. But legally, it’s fatal. If someone else signs for you where your own signature is required, you have just unknowingly nullified the entire document. It has failed the legal validity test, and that transaction may not survive legal scrutiny.

No matter how close the person is to you (your spouse, sibling, friend) they cannot legally sign your name in your absence unless done through a valid Power of Attorney. Even then, it must be expressly stated and authorized.

The courts are clear: your signature must come from you. Anything else could be seen as forgery or misrepresentation.

Thankfully, modern technology has you covered. With digital signature tools, remote authentication and legally accepted e-signature platforms, you can securely and validly sign your documents yourself from anywhere in the world.

Anything outside this is like playing Sporty bet with your land or business.

Be smart. Be safe.

Sign it yourself.
