The COVID-19 pandemic has forced businesses to change their habits and adopt new technologies.<\/p>\n
A clear example of this is the signing of documents, as businesses could no longer support the pen-and-paper signing process.<\/p>\n
Businesses had to find alternative ways to sign documents and this resulted in digital signature solutions becoming increasingly popular and vitally important.<\/p>\n
Businesses that have begun using digital signature solutions during the lockdown have seen major benefits.<\/p>\n
It is also worth noting that digital signatures are legally binding, and well-equipped digital signature products, like Lexis Sign, offer an advanced electronic signature (AES) \u2013 a particularly reliable form of signature provided for in the ECT Act.<\/p>\n
It is important that you use a digital signature solution that offers an AES because where laws such as the Deeds Registries Act require a signature, only an AES will be valid.<\/p>\n
For example, the use of an AES by conveyancers is a legal requirement for the Power of Attorney to Transfer Property.<\/p>\n
