Re: ''Its'' in a document to sign.
You are identifying your position, for example:
"By John Smith, Its President"
You want to sign this way so it is clear you are signing in a representative capacity and not making yourself personally liable.
Re: ''Its'' in a document to sign.
Dear "Its":
This is in response to your question regarding the significance of "Its" at the end of the document. This space is intended for you, or whoever signs the document, to indicate the title, office or capacity in which the person is signing. For example: Its President, or its Secretary, or its Next Best Friend, or, just leave it blank if "its" does not apply.
Good luck. Sincerely, J. Norman Stark, Cleveland, OH.
