Questions
Are these documents legally valid?+
These are professionally structured templates using standard clause language. Whether a completed document is legally binding depends on your state's requirements, proper signing (and notarization or witnesses where required), and your specific situation. For anything high-stakes, have an attorney review it. Nothing here is legal advice.
Is it really free?+
Yes. Filling in a document, previewing it, printing it, and saving it as a PDF are free with no signup. A free account saves your documents; Pro adds Word and Excel export and unlimited saved documents.
Do you store what I enter?+
No. The document is generated in your browser. Nothing you type is sent to our servers unless you choose to save it to an account, and saved documents can be deleted anytime.
Can I edit the document after generating it?+
Yes. Every field stays editable, and you can regenerate as many times as you like. Print or save the final version as a PDF when it looks right.
Will this hold up if it needs to be signed or notarized?+
The template includes signature lines. Some documents need witnesses or a notary to be enforceable in your state. Check your state's requirements before signing, and use a notary where one is required.
