I had some trouble finding the document I needed.It would be nice if it gave me a history of forms pulled up so I don't have to pull up the same ones. Thanks

I'd rather pay per document. I don't need the subscription and will likely cancel after this transaction. Consider offering a cheap per-page service in the future.

While you might not have to initial each page of a contract when you first create it, there may be instances where you need to initial one or more pages later on. Often, initials are a way to acknowledge a small change in a contract after it has been signed to show that both parties agree to the amendment.
What does it mean to “put your initials" on all pages of a document or an agreement before the last page where your full name and signature is requested? It means that every page of the document must have your full initials at the bottom right or left-hand corner. If the document lists you as Tom Jones, then put TJ.
There is no statute or law that demands that each page of a contract be initialed. Written contracts are binding if signed once by the parties to the contracts don't assume you wan wiggle out of a contract because you did not initial it on every page; the contract is binding if signed on the last page.
An initial is just like a representative of your name. For instance, an initial can be formed from the first letter of a name or a word that forms part of the phrase. Like full signatures, you can also have signature initials only and this will mean using your initials as a signature to validate documents.
Adding initials to the pages of a contract is not a legally binding signature that shows you agree to the terms of the contract. Adding an actual signature (whether ink on paper or electronic signature) is a statement of agreement to the terms and promises of the document / contract.
Placing of initials on each page of a document or an agreement means placing of brief identification mark of yourself conveying thereby that the said person has read each of the said pages and further this prevents from adding pages later on after the document has been legally executed.
Your initial means the first letter of your name. An example of initial is the letter “M" when your name is Molly.
From above, the major difference is that a signature is normally written in full. This means a signature could be written to capture the full name of a person. On the other hand, initials are just a letter from name usually the first letter of a name.
Yes, your signature can be your initials. Just make sure that your signature matches what is on your driver's license and any other legal documents to avoid any problems with a bank, etc.
The main difference between Autograph and Signature is that the Autograph is a handwritten signature of a famous person and Signature is a handwritten mark made as a proof of identity and intent. Autograph is a famous person's artistic signature. The hobby of collecting autographs is known as filmography.
There is no statute or law that demands that each page of a contract be initialed. Written contracts are binding if signed once by the parties to the contracts don't assume you wan wiggle out of a contract because you did not initial it on every page; the contract is binding if signed on the last page.
There is no legal difference between a person's initials and his signature. The legal implication, result and the legal binding factor in respect of the person initialing or signing is the same. He is equally bound by the terms and conditions embodied in the said document.
initials The first letter of each word of a person's full name considered as a unit: stationery monogrammed with her initials. The first letter of a word. A large, often highly decorated letter set at the beginning of a chapter, verse, or paragraph.
If all the letters are the same size (also known as block), initials are ordered like your name: first, middle and last. If the monogram features a larger center initial, the ordering is always first name, last name, and middle name.
The First Name is also your given name, the name given to you by your parents at birth. The Initial is normally used for the middle names, and you write them as initials rather than the actual name. The Last Name is also your surname or family name, the name of your clan or affiliated family.
