Can a doctor legally sign for transfer of records on the behalf?

Yes.

In most jurisdictions, a doctor can legally sign for the transfer of medical records on behalf of a patient. This is typically done when the patient is unable to sign for themselves, such as when they are unconscious or mentally incapacitated. In some cases, a doctor may also be authorized to sign for a patient's medical records if the patient has given them written permission to do so.

There are a few exceptions to the rule that a doctor can sign for the transfer of medical records on behalf of a patient. For example, in some states, a patient's spouse or other legal guardian may be required to sign for the release of their medical records. Additionally, some medical facilities may have their policies and procedures regarding the release of medical records, which may require the patient's express permission before their records can be released.

If you have any questions about whether a doctor can legally sign for the transfer of your medical records on your behalf, you should consult with an attorney.
