I have a house sale contract that has some initials at the bottom of each page. Due to then length of the initials , the initial is being cutoff by the right side of the page. The initial is only half showing because of this. Could someone tell me if this still a legal initial or void since it’s been cutoff. Or is it still valid because it’s a Docusign entered initial. 

 

thankyou

    Whether or not the initial is fully visible, it generally represents the signer’s intent and agreement to the contract if it has been applied. Additionally, the signer's detailed information is typically included in the contract summary. Therefore, the completeness of the initial's display may not affect its legal validity.

    Some contracts may explicitly state that signatures or initials must be complete and visible. If the contract contains such a clause, a partially cut-off initial could lead to disputes. In this case, it might be necessary to correct the pages to ensure that the initials are complete.

    However, since the initial reflects the signer's subjective intention to agree to the contract, the display completeness may not necessarily impact its validity.
