Docusign Instructions
We now have the capability to accept your electronically signed paperwork. Our new e-signature service, DocuSign®, is a fast, reliable, and secure way to fill out forms and sign documents online—from any device, anywhere. DocuSign e-signatures are legally binding for most transactions in almost every country and comply with the US federal ESIGN Act and UETA.
In these instructions, we’ve outlined how to use DocuSign. Please contact your advisory team if you have any questions.
