Legal Question in Credit and Debt Law in Nebraska

Signatures on Legal Documents

I was wondering, if an individual holds a position that is titled ''Assistant Vice President'', and that person signs a Legal Document, such as Bankruptcy Proof of claim or a Purchase Contract, as ''Vice President'' without including ''Assistant'', is that document valid? Would it be upheld in court?
