The aim of this paper is to explain doubts that arise in the application of laws that standardize those forms of acts in law which require, as an indispensable element, a handwritten signature of the person who makes a declaration of intent, placed on a document that includes such a declaration. Problematic questions related to signature apply in particular to the following issues: what should such a signature express?; is it enough for it to only include the surname?; should a signature be legible?; what letter shapes are admissible when placing a signature? or where on a document must such a graphical sign be placed? The conclusions that flow from the discussion included in the article boil down to the following findings: (i) a signature must be understood as a graphical sign that includes at least the surname that allows identification of the author of the declaration of intent; (ii) the signature may be illegible, some letters may be omitted; (iii) it is admissible for the signature to be made in capital letters; (iv) the signature should be placed under the text of the declaration of intent; (v) the person who only acquired the skill to write their first and second name may make a declaration of intent in writing.
