Can I use lipstick instead of fingerprints?

Of course. As long as it can be proved that the contents of the agreement are my true meaning, fingerprints can be recognized and have legal effect. However, lipstick is not suitable for long-term storage, and the inkpad can be stored for a long time after drying. Inks not only contain a lot of oil, but also contain a certain amount of fixing agent. Oily materials must be dry, neither wiping off nor afraid of water, in order to protect the seal of evidence for a long time.

Is it legally effective to press fingerprints with lipstick?

The fingerprint pressed by lipstick has legal effect. It's just a matter of form what to use to press the fingerprint. Written evidence is a contract and a form recognized by both parties. After the two sides reached an ideological agreement, they were bound by law. Therefore, as long as the attitude of both parties is correct, it doesn't matter what handprint they use, provided that the handprint is clear, both parties can't cheat, and their interests are protected by law. A legally binding written document must meet several conditions:

1, one side really means it.

2. The content does not violate the relevant provisions of laws and regulations.

3. The content does not violate the principle of public order and good customs.

4. Written evidence has legal effect if it bears legal responsibility. If it is signed under coercion, the written evidence is invalid, and there is no clear legal responsibility, which is not legally binding.

The judgment document of the court has two effects, one is legal effect and the other is enforcement effect. Once the judgment document made by the court takes effect (the first-instance judgment that has not been appealed and the second-instance judgment that has been finalized have legal effect after the expiration of the appeal period), it will have permanent legal effect unless it is revoked according to law. The judgment document has the force of enforcement, which means that if the debtor refuses to perform the obligations stipulated in the judgment document, the creditor can apply to the court for enforcement, but the creditor must apply within the time limit prescribed by law, otherwise the right to apply for enforcement will be lost. The time limit for applying for execution is two years, counting from the last day of the performance period stipulated in the legal documents; If the legal document stipulates that the performance shall be performed by stages, it shall be counted from the last day of the prescribed time limit for each performance; If the legal document does not stipulate the time limit for performance, it shall be counted from the date when the legal document takes effect.

Therefore, the court judgment more than ten years ago still has legal effect. You can go to the Housing Authority to register the house transfer or bring a lawsuit to the court to divide the house according to the judgment, so this "historical problem" will be solved.

Legal basis:

Article 490 of the Civil Code of People's Republic of China (PRC)

If the parties enter into a contract in the form of a contract, the contract shall be established when the parties sign, seal or press their fingerprints. Before signing, sealing or fingerprinting, one party has fulfilled its main obligations, and the contract is established when the other party accepts it.

A contract shall be concluded in written form as stipulated by laws, administrative regulations or agreed by the parties. If the parties do not do this in writing, but one party has fulfilled its main obligations and the other party accepts it, the contract is established.
