Signature question

Have any of you had a signature line that goes like this?

Jane Doe AKA Jane Smith Allen Doe

Every signature line is like that, it's also hand written in on the Deed like that.

Get them frequently. Just tonight I had "Jane S. Doe KNA Jane S. Doe Smith". I'm not sure what the "KNA" means, but I bet they meant it to read "NKA" since she recently got married and the property is in her maiden name. ID is in her maiden and married names.

"KNA" means "Known Now As" in my world. Not sure about Florida, and not a good acronym, anyplace.....imo.

I was be facetious when I said I didn't know what it means. Here in FL, we do FKA, NKA signatures and certificates all the time, since we can show capacity on docs and in the certificate. Very rarely do we see "KNA" which doesn't roll off the tongue well, and my preprinted forms were all NKA.
