Signature.
Forgery means the wrong person, company, etc. makde it. Illegial means not legal. For example, if Mr. Thief signs my name to a check, then the signature (check) is a forgery.
A fraudulent signature is often referred to as a forged signature or a counterfeit signature. This occurs when someone signs a document using another person's name without their authorization or consent, which is illegal and unethical.
No. That would be a forgery unless they have a properly executed Power of Attorney.
No. That is fraud. You need to get the signature of the person whose name is on the title. If your name is on the title you can sell it. If not you can't.
Disclose your identity as an agent whenever you act for the principal by writing or printing the principal's name and signing your own name as "agent" in the following manner: (Principal's Name) by (Your Signature) as Agent, or (Your Signature) as Agent for (Principal's Name).
No, it is called forgery, and it is a crime.It is never legal under any circumstances to sign another person's name. It is important that your name is always be signed as it appears on your legal identification (i.e. passport, driver's license, and so forth). Never sign another person's name--even if they give you permission.Furthermore, attempts to use software such as Adobe Photoshop to paste a signature (unless it is a legal digital signature) can be traced. That is also forgery.
By definition, forgery is the act of signing something in another person's name and passing it off as an official signature from that person. If you are caught committing this act in West Virginia you could face a felony conviction that can carry a minimum of 2 years behind bars.
To sign someones name without their prior consent isn't an act of forgery unless you have copied (duplicated) their signature to look like they have written it themselves. Also,it isn't deemed as a criminal offence to make a forgery for most things unless the forged item is intended to be used in a deception by being passed off as THE REAL THING!...in order to obtain money/services/goods.e.t.c..under false pretences! So,that being said...the answer is YES it is an act of forgery to copy anyones signature without their prior consent...and also an act of forgery if done with prior consent from the owner,An act of forgery indeed...but certainly not a criminal offence without the added offence of deception being involved.
