Expert Signature Verification
The signature, or "handwriting," on important legal documents is one of the most critical pieces of evidence used to confirm identity, declare intent, and acknowledge agreements. If a signature on a vital document—such as a will, a loan agreement, or a sales contract—is forged, it can lead to severe disputes and substantial damages.
Our law firm recognizes the gravity of this issue. Therefore, we offer specialized Signature Verification Services to confirm the Authenticity of a signature—determining whether it is genuine or a forgery—by our dedicated team of expert forensic document examiners.
Why is Signature Verification Important?
Our services are instrumental in resolving doubts and settling disputes related to various types of key documents, including:
- Wills and Testaments: Verifying the signature of the testator (the person making the will) to confirm the document's validity and true intent.
- Business Contracts: Expertly examining signatures on sales agreements, employment contracts, and other commercial documents.
- Loan and Guarantee Documents: Confirming the signatures of the borrower and the guarantor on money loan agreements.
- Powers of Attorney: Verifying the correctness of the grantor's signature to prevent impersonation and unauthorized claims.
- Land and Real Estate Transactions: Checking signatures on agreements to buy/sell or documents related to the transfer of ownership.
- Other documents required as evidence in legal proceedings or in court.
Our Service Process
We follow a systematic process, placing the highest priority on maintaining client confidentiality.
Initial Consultation
You can contact us to discuss your concerns and receive preliminary information regarding the document in question.
Document Collection
We collect two main sets of documents:
- Questioned Document: The document containing the signature under dispute.
- Comparison Samples (or Known Signatures): Other documents containing confirmed genuine signatures of the individual for comparison purposes.
Expert Forensic Analysis
Our specialists will conduct a detailed, side-by-side analysis of both sets of documents using scientific principles and specialized tools. They compare characteristics such as the stroke's unique character, the pressure applied, and other individual writing habits.
Conclusion and Official Report
Upon completion of the analysis, we will issue an official report of the verification findings. This report can be used as a formal reference and submitted as evidence in legal proceedings or in court.
If you are uncertain about the validity of a signature on a crucial document, or if you are facing a dispute involving document forgery, do not let doubt compromise your legal rights.
