Article 2827 defines a signature: the affixing by a person, on an act, of their name or of a personal mark that they habitually use, to manifest their consent.
The definition is neutral as to the medium: a mark affixed to a technology-based document can be a signature, provided it manifests the signer's consent.
In co-ownership, it underpins the value of written resolutions and signed documents (art. 354 CCQ). A simple electronic signature builds on this definition, completed by the Act to establish a legal framework for information technology.
CondoAide produces electronically signed documents by capturing a clear act of consent from the signer; this is not a notarial act.
