There are several ways that the signor can execute a document. Depending on how such a document is executed determines the appropriate notary language for the document.

1. Sign for Self – The person can sign for his/her self - legibility is not a requirement
2. Legal Authority Signs for Them (Guardian, DPOA, Other) – Some documents allow for a legal authority to sign and some do not. When available the choice will be presented.
3. Notary Sign – When a person is physically unable to sign or make a mark, a notary can sign on behalf of the person, as long as, the person can somehow indicate his/her desire for the notary to take such action
4. Marked with an X – When a person is only physically able to make a mark, typically an X, the notary can notarize the mark
