Your Guide to Witness Signing with SIGN Butler 

What is Witness Signing? 

Witness signing is commonly used for legal documents like wills, power of attorneys, deeds, and some contracts involving money and property ,as well as in the non-profits and government sector.

This process involves a witness observing the signing and adding their signature to ensure authenticity.

Unlike traditional methods, witness signing with solutions like SIGN Butler eliminates the need for a protracted mail process. As we explore witness signing, we’ll talk about its significance and how technology simplifies it within the Salesforce user interface through solutions like SIGN Butler.

When Does a Document Need to Be Witnessed? 

 Witness signatures are important because they help prevent fraud, provide additional legal enforceability, and can help in legal proceedings. 

Understanding when a document needs witnessing is crucial. While not obligatory for all contracts, deeds often require this formal step. Deeds cover various legal documents like agreements, asset transfers, and guarantees. 

For deeds, witnessing typically involves a witness physically present during the signatory’s signature. In modern contexts, where legal requirements allow, electronic witnessing steps in. This digital approach ensures a witness is virtually present during the electronic signature process. 

In a digital setup, the signatory receives the document, specifies the witness’s details, signs electronically, and prompts the witness to add their electronic signature. It’s a modern solution to an age-old requirement, offering flexibility in an evolving legal landscape.
