i purchased my first condo in 2010 - this was before digital signing was common. i went to the notary to sign all of the paperwork, and after my first (of a fuckton) of signatures, the notary looked at my signature, crumpled up the paper, printed a new copy, and said "you need to have a signature in cursive"
i told him my signature was how i signed that first paper, and he said he couldnt notarize it, so i need to use my "real" signature.
so that condo had strange signatures on its paperwork that kept changing as i attempted to find a good cursive signature throughout the process.

And, depending on your municipality, you might be able to refute those signatures if your signature at the bank was your actual signature, and it won't even matter that they were notarized. I'm not saying you'll have a reason, but it might be an option if you needed it.
