Can you print rather than sign your name on a legal document?
The general rule for signatures is that as long as you make some sort of mark that you can identify as your mark, then it is a valid "signature." Even an X is a valid signature as long as the person making the X can identify it as theirs. As long as the mark made by the person represents their intent to authenticate the document, it can theoretically be anything. In the movies of the old west one has seen where a person unable to read or write authenticates a document with simply an "X", the document is legal. That is the value of a witness who can testify that the document was in fact made by that person. The problem may arise later if the original signer or the witness become unavailable and there is no reliable sample for comparison. An "X" on a legal document such as a deed or mortgage would need to be witnessed on the face of the document in order for it to be a valid conveyance.

What does ls mean in a legal document?
"L.S." near the signature line of a legal document stands for locus sigilli, which is Latin for "place of the seal." Long ago formal legal documents had to be sealed with a wax seal to be deemed valid. The seal was a symbol of prestige, as wealthy persons had the most ornate seals. That practice has generally been abandoned, but raised seals are still used by notaries public, courts and certain government agencies in certain instances. Since private seals are no longer in use, the symbol, "L.S.," takes the place of the seal and has the same effect as a seal on a document that would have required a seal.

Can you have symbols in your signature?
Your legal signature is the way you sign your name, but is meant to help prove your identity and should match the signature on your official identification. Symbols are allowed, but are not encouraged. You can use hearts or stars to dot the I, for example, as long as your actual name appears and is not covered/defaced by the symbol. If the symbol is independent of your signature, such as drawing a symbol near your name, then the symbol is not allowed. This only refers to your legal signature being used on legal documents.
Is a mortgage valid if a notary never saw us sign it but just notarized the documents the next day when we gave it to him?
As far as the lender is concerned the mortgage document is legal. If your signatures are on that document, you have assumed responsibility for the mortgage. If you are contesting the validity of the document because of the notary's action, I don't think it will fly unless you want to claim that the signatures are not yours. And you don't want to do that. As long as you have willingly signed, the mortgage document will be good.
