No one other than the recipient has the right to sign for that legal document. Putting it in a locked box and providing the key does not address this. The boxes can be opened by anyone in a family for example. This does not prove the recipient received the legal documents.
If there is any legal problem and your signature is not authentic you will not be liable because your signature was forged therefor not legal.
