Is an electronic signature (typed names) OK for consent forms to check background on tenets? Or does it need to be signed with a pen and paper?
As long as you follow the rules (ESIGN Act -- I believe this is the right reference: http://www.gpo.gov/fdsys/pkg/PLAW-106publ229/content-detail.html) electronic signatures are fine.
I sold a house in Dec. 2009 - all forms from buyer including offers/acceptance, etc. were e-signatures and everything went through.
When I sold something vested in a trust, they wanted "wet signature... how ass backwards...
