Description

"Reproducible, ready-to-use forms are accompanied by step-by-step descriptions of the process involved in over twenty common legal issues. ... Well designed and easy to use." --American Libraries

Legal Forms for Everyone is the ultimate self-help legal guide to saving research time and money in legal fees. Written by two experienced attorneys, this book is complete with the most commonly needed, ready-to-use legal forms, along with precise instructions and checklists on how and when to use them--and advice for when you should hire an attorney. The forms are also available from a supplemental website to directly download to your device and customize for your individual needs.

Legal situations covered include preparing a will, avoiding probate, buying and selling real estate, handling divorce or formal separation, getting a new name, copyrights and trademarks, bankruptcy, and much more. Due to the ever-evolving legal system and technological developments, this seventh edition features new sections covering the following topics:
  • How to apply for a passport, including advice on compiling evidence of citizenship
  • How to apply for and claim Social Security benefits
  • How timing of retirement can effect Social Security retirement benefits
  • How to get a certified copy of a birth or death certificate, including state-by-state advice
  • Assigning a medical proxy
Legal Forms for Everyone is a comprehensive tool for assistance with legal situations without having to pay for a costly attorney.
