Blank signed papers to lawyer

Biswas S (Querist) 12 January 2015 This query is : Resolved
I had to travel to another city to sign legal papers related to my organisation.
Since the complete set was not ready with our lawyer, we were in hurry as I had to take return flight.
My lawyer suggested that I start signing on the right bottom corner of white blank pages so that in case of delay he can take print on those sheets. I had signed approx 35 sheets.
finally print out was taken on fresh pages as signature was overlapping the matter.
While I was signing, the lawyer had torn several papers including signed blank sheets. But I was not sure if all sheets were destroyed.
after signing all documents I left for airport hurriedly and requested him to destroy all unused sheets.
later I have sent him e-mail requesting him to destroy/return all unused sheets if any left out of approx 35 sheets signed blank.
The lawyer has replied to my mail confirming that all unused signed sheets has been destroyed.
I am preserving this mail exchange for my record.
Do I need to take any other precaution on this matter ?

you should never sign on blank pages . your lawyer can forward papers to you at your residential address you can sign them before notary public and return the papers to your lawyer

now that your lawyer has destroyed bank papers you need not worry but in future avoid signing on blank pages
