A new guide, Electronic Signing and Witnessing, has been added to the Reference Materials folder in all By Lawyers matter plans. This helpful resource summarises the various pieces of legislation for electronic execution.
Electronic methods of signing and witnessing are available for many transactions and documents encountered in everyday practice. The new guide summarises the applicable legislation to help practitioners understand when electronic signing and witnessing is permitted and how it can be done.
Land Registry guidance is also included to ensure practitioners can easily understand which forms, deeds, and documents can be signed and witnessed electronically.
