Sec. 842.6  Signature on the claim form.

    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. (1) A corporate officer signing 
the form must show title or capacity and affix the corporate seal (if 
any) to the claim form.
    (2) If the person signing the claim is other than the corporate 
officer they must:
    (i) Attach to the claim form a certification by a proper corporate 
officer that the individual is an agent of the corporation duly 
authorized to file and settle the claim;
    (ii) Affix to the claim form the corporate seal (if any) to the 
certification.
    (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.
