Answer 2

For what i know...witness signature is not necessary for the check list as long as the boxes is thicked and signed by an authorized person. When the boxes brought to court for legal purposes as evidence then the person who signed the document is the one to testify and attest the veracity of the said documents.
As an authorized signatory of the check list you're also held responsible to proved that the list is genuine and true of its nature.

Answer 3

A real legal document is usually signed by a notary of the public, usually found at your bank.

Answer 4

Best answer is to get a Solicitor to help you. If you do it on your own, just be sure to spell out the agreement as fully and completely as possible. All parties should sign and date it in the presence of a notary and each party should have an original to keep for their records.
