1d.

The average writer does not foresee the problems that arise from misinterpretation of legal documents. A lawyer must ensure that his documents are “foolproof” and “knaveproof,” avoiding any ambiguity that could lead to misconstruction. The lawyer must write in a manner that allows the average reader to understand the intended meaning, anticipating that some readers may seek alternative interpretations, particularly in the face of scrutiny from opposing counsel.

Where a legal matter requires a written instrument, the person obligated to execute it does not necessarily need to write the instrument themselves, but the instrument must be signed by that person. If a seal is used in place of a signature, the seal is considered equivalent to a signature. Fingerprints or other markings may also be used, provided that two witnesses attest to the signature. The provisions of the preceding paragraph do not apply to fingerprint evidence. Other markings of a similar nature, made before a public official, are considered equivalent to a signature.
