'''TL;DR''': Away from the gripping world of land law, a “[[counterparts]]” clause is as useful as a chocolate tea-pot. Indeed: even ''there'', it is a waste of trees, because if the law decrees everyone must sign the same physical bit of paper, a clause ''on''that paper purporting to attest that they don’t have to, won’t work. There is a [[Chicken-licken|chicken]]-and-[[egg]] problem here. A temporal {{t|paradox}}. But do not let that stop your [[legal eagle]]s insisting on one, on pain of cratering the trade, of course — realistically, you couldn’t if you tried: a fellow has to put food on the table for his younglings after all.
