That Certain Plot, Piece Or Parcel Of Land, With The Buildings And

Automate complex legal workflows with a That Certain Plot, Piece Or Parcel Of Land, With The Buildings And 1998 template.

What this land document is

This document identifies a specific parcel of land together with buildings and related property interests. Its legal effect depends on the transaction, the governing state law, the parties, and any county recording requirements. A completed copy can identify the property, capture the parties’ intent, and preserve a signed record. signNow can organize the document, place assigned fields, collect electronic signatures, and retain an audit trail. Electronic-signature laws such as ESIGN and UETA do not override rules requiring notarization, original documents, recording, or personal appearance. Confirm filing requirements with the relevant state or county authority.

Legal standing of this land document

ESIGN, 15 U.S.C. chapter 96, and applicable UETA or New York ESRA provisions can support electronic records when intent, consent, attribution, and reproducibility are established. They do not validate wills, certain court filings, or documents requiring notarization, personal appearance, or recording under state law.

Challenges when preparing this document

  • Leaving the legal description, parcel identifier, building details, or party names incomplete can create ambiguity between the signed document and the intended property.
  • Treating an electronic signature as a substitute for required notarization or county recording can result in rejection even when the signNow workflow completed successfully.
  • Assigning signature fields to the wrong party can weaken attribution and require the land document to be resent and signed again.
  • Storing the completed document without its audit trail separates the signed terms from evidence showing when and how each party acted.

Recordkeeping practices for this document

Preserve the signed land document with evidence of signing, access controls, and the applicable state or county recordkeeping rule.

Set a documented retention rule

Keep the completed land document, signer certificate, and audit trail in one controlled record set. Apply the retention period required by the transaction’s governing state law, recording authority, lender, or organizational policy rather than assigning an unsupported universal period.

Export the audit trail

Export the audit trail with the completed document after all parties sign. Preserve timestamps, signer events, authentication details, and delivery history so the record can be reviewed without relying solely on an active signNow account.

Protect property and signer data

Restrict access to staff handling the transaction, title review, recording, or legal compliance. Use role-based permissions and avoid sending property identifiers or personal information through unsecured email attachments.

Check county recording requirements

Before filing, compare the signed record with the county’s requirements for acknowledgment, formatting, margins, signatures, and recording fees. Correcting a rejected land instrument may require new signatures or an additional notarization.

Troubleshooting this land document

Resolve field, signing, notarization, and recordkeeping questions before treating an electronic land document as ready for filing or recording.

Upload the clearest PDF available and verify that every page appears in the preview. If signNow does not detect fields, add signature, date, initials, and text fields manually, then assign each field to the correct signer before sending.

A signNow Business subscription includes legally binding eSignatures, templates, audit trails, and mobile apps. Business Premium adds bulk send and kiosk mode. Select the plan according to the number of land documents and signing routes your organization manages.

Electronic signing does not remove a state-law notarization requirement. Deeds and other instruments affecting title may require acknowledgment before a notary and recording with the county. Confirm requirements with the relevant county recorder or state authority before sending.

For interstate transactions, ESIGN establishes electronic-signature validity under 15 U.S.C. chapter 96. UETA generally governs intrastate transactions in adopting jurisdictions, while New York uses ESRA. Review the governing state law and document-specific exclusions before relying on an electronic record.

Use signNow authentication and a detailed audit trail to connect the signer with the completed record. The audit trail can record identity-related events, timestamps, IP details, and actions, but it does not determine whether a county recorder will accept the document.

Keep the completed document and audit trail together in a controlled repository. signNow supports encrypted transmission with TLS 1.2 or 1.3 and AES-256 encryption at rest; your organization still must apply the retention period required by the governing state or transaction.
