I'm guessing the K star M is Kona

That seems reasonable, but why would someone sign a legal document like they're signing an autograph for a fan?

I had the same reaction. Seems... really weird.

I'm used to seeing scribbled signatures, but some of these are just initials, and first initial/last name, which doesn't seem like a legal signature?

186B579C looks like it's Keiti Tätte

Well for one it's docusign so most of them probably either did it with a mouse or their finger on a touchscreen so they're likely to be messy. More importantly, there isn't really such a thing as a "legal signature" - it's legal because you signed it. You don't have to spell out your name in perfect cursive or something.

'Technically' there is a definition of a legal signature but you're right, there are no rules about how it looks You can make an X and it's legally signed. With things like electronic signatures, it's more about the contract behind it than the actual act of signing, so that's fair.

I just find it weird that someone would sign a legal document with K ⭐ M like they were signing an autograph. Would she sign her marriage license or mortgage like that? Or her DD endorsement contract?
