Spanish term

Signado

Spanish to English Law/Patents Law (general) Will/ Testament
the context is a will/testament. I am proofreading a translation where the translator has written "marked".
Context:
"Yo, el Notario, doy fé..del presente que signo, firmo, rubrico y sello...FIRMADO: X, SIGNADO: Y"

X and Y refer to different people.

Does "mark" work here or can anyone suggest an alternative?

Thanks

Me neither Which suggests that it is rarely used. If it does mean initialled, then that would work.
philgoddard Oct 25, 2016:
I've never seen "paraphed", Robert's suggestion, but its cognate in other languages usually means initialled. Has Y added his or her initials?
Kim Kardasho (X) Oct 25, 2016:
Marked ...is arguably right as a UK notarial term of art.

I was waiting for someone else to answer this, but as there are no takers, here's mine.
I think that to all intents and purposes, "signo, firmo, rubrico" all mean the same thing "I (hereby) sign" = "signed"... So you could effectively ignore "signado" and simply treat it as if it were "firmado" again.

NB: I know a lot of vocabulary in my native English, but I've never come across "paraphed" before, so I can't post an agree to our colleague's suggestion. If he'd suggested "initialled", that might have swayed me...

paraphed

Signado: literalmente es «poner o imprimir un signo», el cual, a su vez, es una «señal o figura que se emplea en la escritura y en la imprenta». También puede significar firmar cuando se hace referencia a la persona.

Paraphed: es una floritura que se añade a una firma para evitar la falsificación o copia. También se puede definir así a los símbolos que dejan en las páginas los notarios para marcarlas sin tener que firmar.

...

Un ejemplo práctico de traducción jurada de sello, timbre, firma, rúbrica y signo:

En un poder notarial español el notario indica «Firma. Signado. J. Pérez. Rubricado. Sellado».

Una traducción literal podría ser «Signed. Paraphed. J. Pérez. Initialled. Stamped».

Sin embargo, una posible adaptación sería «Signed, sealed and delivered. J. Perez».
