Save Seal Document For Free

First, a bit of history. In the 19th Century, companies signing a contract would press their seal into wax on the contract document. The purpose was to prove the handwritten signature wasn't forged.

Firstly, the following of the legal formality of affixing a seal to a document was evidence of the existence of a contract. Secondly, the need to use a seal ? widely known to have legal significance ? served to impress upon the parties the significance of the agreement being made.

At the moment, seals are utilized to authenticate documents like birth records, marriage records, and real property deeds. Furthermore, they are used for authenticating signatures which a Notary Public witnesses and also in the formalization of corporate documents.

If a case involves a sensitive matter, or a juvenile party in a civil case (like a car wreck), then that may be reason for the court to file documents under seal. Likewise, the case may be of such a sensitive nature that the court decides that the court documents need to be sealed.

The word ?SEAL? at the end of (or below) a signature line means 'signature'. For example, a mortgage note or Fannie Mae/Freddie Mac Texas Deed of Trust will have ?(Seal)? at the end of the line for the borrower's signature. A person's signature is considered their seal.

Encapsulation can accelerate the deterioration of acid papers. By sealing the document between two sheets of polyester, the acid in the paper has nowhere to go. Using an L-sleeve provides just as much protection as encapsulation. For highly acidic papers, place a sheet of buffered paper behind the document.
