Corrections without starting over

Fix the mistake. Keep the signature.

Redoing a whole document because one initial is in the wrong box costs a day and an awkward e-mail. SignLucid lets you return only that spot.

  • Tick the fields that need to be re-signed and add a note for the client.
  • The client gets a new link that opens only those fields.
  • All other signatures stay in place, untouched.
  • The earlier completed version and its signatures stay in the audit trail.
What SignLucid is not for. Wills and testamentary trusts, adoption, divorce and other family-law matters, and court orders and court documents are not covered by the ESIGN Act; documents that must be notarized have their own rules. Sending back a field is for a signature in the wrong place, not for changing the terms after signing. Whether a document can be e-signed remains your professional judgment.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Are e-signatures valid on engagement letters and fee agreements?

In the United States, the federal ESIGN Act and state UETA laws generally give an electronic signature the same effect as ink when the signer agrees to sign electronically, intends to sign, the signature is tied to the document, and the record can be kept and reproduced. SignLucid records each of those steps on the certificate of completion. Wills, family-law matters and court documents are excluded, and your state’s professional rules may set requirements for some agreements. See E-signature laws. This is general information, not legal advice.

Can I change the terms after a client signs?

No. Sending back a field is for a signature or initial in the wrong place. To change terms, prepare a new document and send it as a new envelope.

How do I verify who signed?

Each signer has a private link, and you can add an access code you share separately. The certificate records the method, IP address and device.

Do my clients need an account or an app?

No. Each signer gets a private link and signs in any browser, on a phone or a computer. Signers never create an account and never pay. If someone has no e-mail, copy their link into a text or WeChat message.

What proof do I get when a document is signed?

A signed PDF with an envelope number on every page and a certificate of completion at the end: when each signer agreed to sign electronically and signed, their IP address and device, how they were verified, every event, and SHA-256 fingerprints of the original and signed files. See Security.

How is SignLucid priced?

By firm, per month, from $0.99. Each plan includes a monthly envelope allowance: Basic 3, Starter 30, Pro 100, Firm 300. Pro is for teams of up to 3, Firm for up to 10 and puts your firm’s name and color on the signing page. Try every feature free for 7 days (10 envelopes), no credit card. See pricing.
