can a faxe copy of a signed contract be executed or should the document be signed in ink for execution.?

Question

Please specify the section of the law.

Answer 1

I don't know the section of the law, but last year I had to sign some legal papers pertaining to the sale of a house. With my faxed signature, the process could proceed, but I had to mail the original to the attorney for it to be completely legal.

A real estate broker said that deals are done that way all the time.
