signatures on my clients documents?

Question

i am doing a lot of documental work for my clients, which some are legally binding, with the permission od the client can i legally use computer saved copies of the signatures on the documents to save time in postage getting original signatures, i know banks use digitally stored signatures on letters, i want to use the same system.

Answer 1

I am not a solicitor, but I would imagine that any legally binding document would need an original signature. Copies are usually OK for everyday letters etc but I would be very careful about using them otherwise.

Answer 2

I think it depends on what you are going to be using the signatures for. If you are going to be sending the stored signatures, on say an application form to a third party, they'd probably require the original signature. Some things, maybe. I'd double check this first though. Sorry I couldn't be of any help

Answer 3

I wldnt bother - u mite get in trouble
