After filling a document, you can send it to DocuSign for e-signature. The document filler lets you assign signers to each signature role, then sends the envelope directly from DocuSign.
You can send documents for e-signature even if your firm hasn’t connected a DocuSign account — envelopes are sent from Slant’s shared account by default. To send from your own account, see connecting DocuSign.

Send a document for signature

1

Fill the document

Fill a document as usual. After the document is generated, you’ll see your options.
2

Click Send to DocuSign

This option appears when the template includes signature fields.
3

Assign signers to each role

Each signature role (e.g., head of household, spouse, advisor) needs a signer. Select a person from the Household members or Book users groups. To skip an optional role, select N/A.
4

Add email addresses if needed

If a selected signer doesn’t have an email address on file, an email field appears below their name. Enter the email address where they should receive the signing request.
5

Click Send to DocuSign

The envelope is created and signers are notified.
If you’re one of the signers, you’ll be redirected to DocuSign to sign immediately. Other signers receive an email with a link to sign.

After sending

Signing notifications

You’ll receive a notification when the document’s status changes:
  • Signed — All signers have completed their signatures. The signed document is available for download.
  • Declined — A signer declined to sign.
  • Voided — The envelope was voided.
Click the notification to view the status and download the signed document.

Signed document storage

If the household has a connected cloud storage folder, the signed document is automatically saved there once all signers have completed signing. You can configure a specific subfolder for signed documents in the DocuSign settings.

FAQ

No. Schwab forms are not currently supported for DocuSign e-signatures. You can still fill and download them.
Slant automatically suggests signers based on the role. The head of household role maps to the household’s head member, spouse maps to the spouse or partner, and advisor maps to you (the current user). You can change any of these before sending.
Envelope management (voiding, resending) is handled directly in DocuSign. Slant tracks the envelope status and notifies you of any changes.
