Audience: Organizations

The short answer: When someone is signing on behalf of another person or entity — like a trustee or attorney-in-fact — you can designate them as a representative signer during transaction setup.

⚠️
Make sure the recipient's name, email address, and phone number are accurate before proceeding. Incorrect information can cause delivery failures or identity verification issues.

1. Open the Signer Options Menu

Click the 3-dot menu in the upper right corner of the signer's box.


2. Select "Make Representative Signer"

Choose Make representative signer from the dropdown.

If you don't see this option, the transaction may have already been sent or opened by the signer. You'll need to cancel and recreate the transaction to make this change.


3. Enter Who They're Signing For

Type the individual's or entity's name in the Signing on behalf of field.


4. Choose the Signer Type and Capacity

Select the appropriate type from the dropdown. The available types are:

  • Attorney-in-fact.
  • Corporate officer.
  • Guardian or conservator.
  • Partner (general).
  • Partner (limited).
  • Trustee.
  • Other.

For Corporate officer and Other, click + Add capacity to enter a specific title or role. Repeat steps 3–4 if you need to add multiple capacities.
