Tuesday, August 02, 2011 Legal Forms On-Line
Ever wonder how Legal Zoom and similar companies can sell wills, trusts, and other documents on-line. Legal staionary stores have been available for generations and are perfectly legal. It gets dicey when the sellers of forms start giving guidance on how the forms are to be used: that becomes legal advice and only licensed lawyers can give that.
Now, a lawsuit againyt Legal Zoom is going to trial in a federal court. See more on this at:

Do-it-yourselfers are just trying to save money and who can blame them for that. But, when the matter is really important, one should get a real professional on their side so that they can sleep at night knowing their planning will actually work. |
