E-Signings & Wet Signings

Electronic signatures, also known as e-signatures, have become increasingly popular due to their convenience and efficiency. With a computer or mobile device, signers can electronically sign documents remotely without needing in-person meetings. This makes it easier for busy professionals, remote workers, or individuals who cannot travel to have their documents signed quickly and easily. E-signatures are also tamper-evident, providing additional security and protection against fraud.

On the other hand, wet signing involves physically signing a document with a pen. This traditional method is still widely used for in-person signings and is often required for legal or financial documents. A wet signature provides a tangible record of the signer's signature, which can be helpful in situations where proof of identity or signature is required. It can also give a sense of security and trust in the document signing.

However, it is essential to note that specific documents may require wet signatures and cannot be legally signed using an electronic signature. For instance, documents related to real estate transactions, wills, and trusts typically require wet signatures. Therefore, it is essential to consult with a legal professional to ensure the proper signing method is used for each document.

While e-signatures offer convenience and efficiency, wet signatures provide a tangible and secure record of the signer's signature. The choice between the two methods ultimately depends on the document and situation. Our notary at Florida Notary Ninja, LLC can help you decide which is best for your situation.
