Can a real estate purchase agreement be signed electronically?

In most US states, real estate purchase agreements can be signed electronically under UETA and the ESIGN Act. Certain deed transfers and mortgage instruments have separate requirements and may require wet ink. Confirm with a local real estate attorney for your specific transaction type.

How do I handle multiple buyers or sellers on a single purchase agreement?

WoltSign supports multiple signers. Add each buyer and seller as a separate signer, assign their respective fields, and set the signing order. Each party signs their own copy of the document.

What is the audit trail on a signed purchase agreement?

WoltSign records every action: who viewed the document, when they signed, their IP address, and their email address. The certificate of completion captures all of this in a tamper-evident record attached to the signed document.

Can I collect initials on individual pages in addition to the main signature?

Yes. Add an initials field to any page. Assign it to the correct signer. Initials work the same as signatures in WoltSign and appear in the same audit trail.
