(a)Rebbi Meir and Rebbi Elazar disagree as to which witnesses validate a document. Rebbi Elazar rules that "Edei Mesirah Karsei" - "the witnesses who observe the transfer of the document sever". Although this statement was made regarding a Get (bill of divorce) and refers to the severance of the marriage (based upon Devarim 24:1), it applies equally to all documents. Rebbi Meir maintains that "Edei Chasimah Karsei" - "the witnesses who sign the document sever".
