eli5: why do we still rely on hand signatures to validate contracts?

715 views

aren’t by now easy to fake? (e.g hand-writing robots)

Plus we often do digital signatures, which are basically a jpg on top of a PDF document, no?

Being a Notary might seem like not that big of a deal – however it’s a felony for them to drop the ball and they take it very seriously. My wife’s ex testified in court that his signature on some notarized document was forged. Small town, everyone in the courtroom knew the notary and knew that because it was her, the signature was most certainly NOT a forgery. My wife said he was very lucky that the judge just ruled against him instead of pursuing perjury charges. In any case, the lie just completely destroyed the ex’s credibility.
