This Practice Note sets out practical steps for arranging the execution of a document by an individual who has an impairment or disability, or where the individual and their adviser do not share the same language. For overarching guidance on executing contracts and deeds, see the following Practice Notes: Deeds Executing documents—deeds and simple contracts We have also created a comprehensive, interactive collection to help users recognise and navigate key concepts and frequent issues in document execution.
