Used to be able to duplicate, and regularly did, my late husband's signature on legal documents - always with his knowledge, of course!

Females change their names on average more often than males, so we get opportunities to change our signatures. My first was a flowery copperplate first-middleinitial-surname and I was tired of that by the time I married, which then became a bare-minimum initial-surname cursive scrawl. Then I married and acquired two identical initials, which meant a radical change to a backhanded squiggle which I still have.
There was a time when I signed paycheques, some to myself. Since I got the job before the husband, the cheque signature was completely different from the recipient endorsement. Used to occasionally cause some grief at the bank when I forgot which hat I was wearing!

I've never sighed on behalf of my partner. My signature has changed the most in the past 7 years along with my handwriting which has deteriorated to the point that even I sometimes can't read it myself. I have to sign things a few times a day and dislike doing this. It's like I am watching someone else's hand holding the pen and I'm unsure what the signature is going to turn out like? My hand/brain also seems to miss out letters and even rotate them such as placing a 3 where there should be an M. It's a lot more controlled if I print as I've lost the coordination to write spontaneously.

Get you other half to sign off on that. Or perhaps just do it yourself on their behalf.

Never mind reading my signature, what's left of it. People can't even pronounce my last name even though it sounds just like it is spelled.

I thought I was good at it...until I was convicted.

Already got rid of the last half. Or was she the second quarter half? Either way she, (the last quarter) used my JH and it cost A LOT of money.
