2. Print (find printer, paper, ink).
3. Read and sign by hand.
4. Scan the signed document.
5. Email the scanned copy back.
6. Store or shred the paper.

Time: 30-60 minutes Resources: Paper, ink, printer, scanner

The New Way

1. Receive contract via email.
2. Open in eSign tool.
3. Add signature.
4. Download and email back.

Time: 2-5 minutes Resources: None

What About Multiple Signers?

For contracts requiring multiple signatures:

• Sign your portion.
• Send to next signer.
• They repeat the process.
• Final signer distributes to all parties.

Legal Considerations

Electronic signatures on contracts are legally valid under major laws (ESIGN, eIDAS). For specific legal questions, consult an attorney.

When to Print

Some situations still require physical signatures:

• Notarized documents
• Certain real estate transactions
