If an insignificant portion of the signature (such as the tail-end of the last letter) is in the margin, the document will be standard. Designations in the margin such as Sr., Jr., II, III, POA or Attorney-in-Fact are considered significant and cause the document to be non-standard.

StatewideNames of the parties to the conveyance appear on the first or second page of any document with more than one page, and a document conveying an interest in real property includes a description of the property. Notary acknowledgments are exempt from the color and margin requirements, and an embossed notarial seal is exempt from the margin requirements. Officially certified court or government documents are exempt. Documents acknowledged as executed before April 28, 2007 are accepted as standard documents.

A document which includes highlighting is a non-standard document. A whole document that is written in cursive is non-standard. A street address is not a legal description of the property, nor is a deed reference. Substitutions of Trustee do not need a legal description, just a reference to a previously recorded document.
