If the thumbprint doesn't match the thumb of the person who's really entitled to sign the document, it pretty much proves the document is a forgery, and is thus null and void. So, for example, a deed signed by an imposter has no effect and the owner before the execution of the forged deed is still the owner. Of course, if the imposter has vanished with money, then either the person or corporation who paid out the money, or the payer's insurance company, is out the money. |
