§ 1417 Handwriting Authenticity Proof

• •If someone says a signature is fake, the judge or jury can compare it to other signatures to check.
• •The other signatures must be real—either the person agreed they’re real or the court is sure they’re real.
• •This is just one way to prove if a signature is real or fake.

Someone signs a contract, but later says it wasn’t them.

The court can look at other papers where the person really signed their name to see if the signatures match.
