Are e-signatures legally valid for real estate contracts in New York?
Yes. New York's Electronic Signatures and Records Act (ESRA) authorizes electronic signatures for most transactions including real estate contracts. Platforms like DocuSign and Dotloop are widely accepted by attorneys and title companies. However, deeds, mortgages, and certain recording documents may still require wet signatures depending on the county clerk's acceptance policies - always confirm with your closing attorney in advance.
