A quick definition of signet:

A signet is a special symbol or seal that was used in the past to show that an important document was real and authentic. It was often drawn by hand and included a cross and the initials of the person who made the document. In Scotland, a signet was also used to show that a legal summons was real and important. Some people who were part of a special group of lawyers called the Writer to the Signet had the privilege of using a signet to make official documents.

A more thorough explanation:

Definition: A signet is a symbol or seal used to authenticate legal documents or summonses in civil matters.

In civil law, a signet is an elaborate hand-drawn symbol that was formerly placed at the base of notarial instruments, usually incorporating a cross and the notary's initials. It was later replaced by a seal.

In Scots law, a signet is a seal used to authenticate summonses in civil matters before the Court of Session. Originally, this was the monarch's personal seal. A Writer to the Signet is a member of an Edinburgh society of solicitors who hold a few special privileges in the preparation of official documents.

Example: A notary public may use a signet to authenticate a legal document, such as a will or power of attorney. The signet may include the notary's initials and a symbol, such as a cross or other design, to indicate its authenticity.

Explanation: The signet serves as a form of identification and verification that the legal document is authentic and has been properly executed by the notary public. This helps to prevent fraud and ensure that the document is legally binding.
