The claimant or authorized agent signs the claim form in ink using the first name, middle initial, and last name.
- (a)Claim filed by an individual.
- (1)A married woman signs her name, for example, Mary A. Doe, rather than Mrs. John Doe.
- (2)An authorized agent signing for a claimant shows, after the signature, the title or capacity and attaches evidence of authority to present a claim on behalf of the claimant as agent, executor, administrator, parent, guardian, or other representative; for example, John Doe by Richard Roe, Attorney in Fact. A copy of a current and valid power of attorney, court order, or other legal document is sufficient evidence of the agent's authority.
- (b)Claim with joint interest. Where a joint ownership or interest in real property exists, all joint owners must sign the claim form. This includes a husband and wife signing a claim if the claim is for property damage. However, only the military member or civilian employee signs the claim form for a claim under the Military Personnel and Civilian Employees' Claims Act.
- (c)Claim filed by a corporation.
- (d)Claim filed by a partnership. A partner must sign the form showing his or her title as partner and list the full name of the partnership.
