Electronic Signatures in Conveyancing Webinar and Free Book
I have now recorded this webinar which will cover:
What do we mean by an electronic signature?
What is the difference between a contract and a deed?
What is a Mercury signature?
What is a witnessed electronic signature?
HMLR’s requirements in outline
When you buy the webinar you will also receive a free copy of Lorraine’s book A Practical Approach to Document Signing and Electronic Signatures for Conveyancers, which will be sent out to you by post.
This is a book by a conveyancer for conveyancers and outlines where we are in terms of the law on signing contracts and deeds and considers HMLR’s acceptance of witnessed electronic signatures on deeds submitted for registration which was slipped out in a blog post in July 2020. The book focusses on the issues that conveyancing firms will need to consider if they are going to adopt witnessed electronic signatures.
‘I have tried to do some of the thinking about risk and ask the questions about witnessed electronic signatures and platform providers so that conveyancers don’t have to’.
