Electronic signatures are legally enforceable under the federal Electronic Signatures in Global and National Commerce Act (E-SIGN Act, 2000) and the New Jersey Uniform Electronic Transactions Act (UETA, N.J.S.A. 12A:12-1 et seq.).
These laws confirm that electronic signatures are valid and binding in real estate contracts, listings, leases, and other documents.
They are not restricted to deeds, and do not require witnessing to be valid.
Therefore, the correct answer is B.
