Two people signing the same document but at different times?

Each person should sign the document separately, clearly indicating the date of signature alongside their signature. This helps to establish the sequence of signatures and the timing of each person's agreement to the document's contents. It's important that both parties are fully aware of when the other party signed the document.

Is a document legal with one signature?

Depends on whether either party has signed it. The document may be used as evidence of an agreement that was attempting to be finalized even if neither party has signed it. If only one side has signed it, it can be used to enforce the agreement against the party that did sign it. If work had already been done in reliance on the contract being signed, it could be used to provide compensation for that effort.On the other hand. If the document was not signed at all it is of no effect and not valid.

The word "signed" can function as both a subject and a predicate, depending on how it is used in a sentence. For example, in the sentence "She signed the contract," "signed" is the verb in the predicate. In the sentence "The signed document is on the desk," "signed" is part of the subject.


Can a Pennsylvania notary Notarize an article of agreement in West Virginia for a West Virginia property?

Notaries do not notarize documents. They notarize signatures, and they are only permitted in the state by which they are licensed. It does not matter what the document is. If the document is signed in Pennsylvania in the presence of a Pennsylvania notary, that notary can notarize the signature. If the document is signed in any other state, or outside of the presence of the notary, the notary cannot notarize the signature.

If you have a legal document that is signed and you scratch something out. Is this a form of altering?

If the "scratch" was made after the document was signed, and was made without the knowledge and consent of any other party having an interest in it, or if the "scratch" substantially changes the information in the document, then yes, that is a form of altering. This can be a criminal offense, depending on the nature of the document, the change that was made, and the reason for making it. The usual procedure for making changes in a document is to draw a single line through the text to be removed (so that it can still be read), enter the changed or correct information adjacent to the original, and have all signatories to the document initial the change.
