E-Signatures for Surplus Funds
Send. Sign. Done.
Send fee agreements and claim forms for electronic signature directly from the case in your CRM. Signers sign on any device. Completed documents are stored automatically. No DocuSign needed.
Built into the CRM
E-signatures that close surplus funds cases faster.
From fee agreement to signed document in minutes, not days.
Send from the case
Open a case, pick a template, and send for signature in clicks. The document is pre-filled with case data. No switching apps, no copy-paste, no uploading files.
Multi-signer support
Fee agreements often need both the claimant and your firm. Add multiple signers, set the signing order, and track who has signed and who has not.
Automatic reminders
The system sends reminders to signers who have not completed their signature. You set the frequency. No manual follow-up needed for unsigned documents.
Document templates
Save your fee agreement, third-party authorization, claim form, or any document as a reusable template. Merge fields pull case data automatically.
ESIGN Act compliant
Electronic signatures collected through the platform are legally binding under the federal ESIGN Act and UETA. Audit trails and certificates included.
Sign on any device
Signers receive an email link and can sign from their phone, tablet, or computer. No account creation required. Draw, type, or upload a signature.
Why built-in beats bolt-on.
Separate e-signature tools cost more, require more steps, and lose the case context.
DocuSign
- Separate subscription ($10-25/mo per user)
- No CRM integration with surplus funds data
- No case context when sending documents
PandaDoc
- Expensive for small teams ($19-49/mo)
- Overkill for surplus funds workflows
- Does not understand surplus funds document types
Print and mail
- Days to weeks for turnaround
- Postage and printing costs add up
- Documents get lost, damaged, or ignored

E-signatures for surplus funds, answered.
What documents can I send for e-signature?
Any document you upload as a template. Most surplus funds professionals send contingency fee agreements, third-party authorization forms, claim forms, and client intake documents. You can add merge fields that auto-fill with case data like the claimant name, property address, and surplus amount.
Is it legally binding?
Yes. Electronic signatures collected through the platform comply with the federal ESIGN Act and the Uniform Electronic Transactions Act (UETA). Every signed document includes an audit trail with timestamps, IP addresses, and a certificate of completion.
How do signers receive the document?
Signers receive an email with a secure link. They click the link, review the document, and sign from any device. No account creation, no app download, no login required. The process takes most signers under two minutes.
Can I use my own templates?
Yes. Upload any PDF or document as a template. Add signature fields, date fields, initials, and text fields wherever you need them. Save the template once and reuse it across all your cases.
How much does e-signature cost?
E-signatures are included with every paid Surplus Funds List plan starting at $99/mo. There is no per-document fee and no separate subscription. Send as many documents for signature as you need.
Do I need a DocuSign subscription?
No. E-signatures are built directly into the Surplus Funds List CRM. You do not need DocuSign, PandaDoc, or any other third-party e-signature tool. Everything runs inside the same platform where you manage your cases.
