Does SimplyAgree support Witness signatures?
SimplyAgree does not currently support Witness signatures. If this is something you would like, please reach out to support@simplyagree.com with a feature request!
There are a couple of workarounds, depending on your needs.
If it needs to be wet ink signed:
- You can add "Witness" as a signatory to each page that needs witnessing and it will create a packet for the witness.
- You can then download the PDF packet
- And send it along to the appropriate party for distribution to the witness.
If it needs to be eSigned:
- On the first page that needs to be witnessed, add a signatory called Witness, then turn on the entity toggle but don't add an authorized representative.
- Click Create Signatory. This will create an "entity" called Witness with no assigned person.
- Add this "entity" to each page that will need this witness's signature.
- You can then email yourself the packet, and that link can be forwarded to whoever will send it along to the Witness signer.
- To email yourself the link, on the Create Packets page, turn on Enable eSigning
- Under Packets, check the box for "Deliver all packets in a single email"
- This will send you the link for the Witness packet that can be forwarded.
- Please not that the signature pages for the signer and witness would still be returned in counterpart.
