Note, also, that where formal execution requirements ''do'' require every hand to besmirch the same physical parchment, a [[counterparts]] clause won’t save you. This is [[Magic incantation|deep magic]], and no beginner’s spell will shoo it away.
Note, also, that where formal execution requirements ''do'' require every hand to besmirch the same physical parchment, a [[counterparts]] clause won’t save you. This is [[Magic incantation|deep magic]], and no beginner’s spell will shoo it away. So the logical utility for a counterparts clause runs like this:
 
Is the {{t|contract}} a [[deed]] of lease?
:''No'': You don’t need a [[counterparts]] clause. You can safely sign in as many [[counterparts]] as you like without one.
:''Yes'': A [[counterparts]] clause won’t work.  You all have to sign the same document.
