Signing with “all rights reserved” or “without recourse”, which they believe makes the signature impotent, a meaningless mark on a piece of paper instead of something legally-binding.
God you just know these dumbasses think they’re so smart.
Lmao if adding that to their signature means it’s not legally binding, then the title and deed for the house isn’t legally binding either; so how do they expect to get the house.
Even if that nonsense actually did mean anything at all legally, why would he think that would be acceptable to the other party? Dude thinks he can do the equivalent of making an agreement while crossing his fingers right in front of their face and they’re going to be like “yeah, this is fine”.
And that’s before the fact that, if the signature doesn’t bind the agreement, then there is no agreement and that goes both ways. You’re not held to the terms of the agreement and neither are they, meaning no house for you.
Or does he somehow think that since they signed for-realsies and he signed with an attached asterisk that says “psych!” that they somehow legally owe him the house and he owes them nothing? Could you imagine if the world actually worked that way? Why would anyone ever enter into a contract like that? These people who think that’s reality do not seem to realize what chaos such a system would actually bring.
It’s not about everyone doing it, it’s about them being special and having secret knowledge. They want to have all the protections of the law without any of the consequences.
The problem with them being the only ones with this special magical legal knowledge that no one else knows about is that the people executing the law also do not know about it. If the police, lawyers, prosecutors and judges do not know that your magic words negate all responsibility from the law… guess what it doesn’t do…

Sorry, my initial Google was coming empty.

No, no, no! It’s rules for thee. None for me.
And, they’d be committing fraud since they’re inducing the other party to believe it’s a valid signature.
Possession is 9/10s of the uh law.
