What if a signer is physically challenged and is not able to sign his/her name?
A physically challenged signer may affix a personal mark or “X” as a valid signature. To use this procedure, California law requires two witnesses to witness the signature by mark. One witness must write the name of the principal signer next to the mark. The signer by mark and both witnesses sign the document and notary journal.
