Some people tell me that my signature looks like I've</span><br /><span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;">printed, but it really is my cursive signature. I could not find a</span><br /><span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;">phone number for the notary to ask him if that is his signature or</span><br /><span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;">if</span><br /><span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;">he actually only printed his name and forgot to provide his</span><br /><span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;">signature.</span><br /><span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;">I've emailed to my client to ask for this guy's phone number. I'm</span><br /><span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;">going to try to check with this guy to see if that's his signature</span><br /><span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;">or</span><br /><span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;">if he printed.</span><br /><br /><span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;">But, what do you all think? Will this revocation need to be</span><br /><span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;">re-executed?</span><br /><br /><span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;">Andrekita Silva</span><br /><span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;">Law Office of F.
