How are legal documents created?
Your documents are created with the help of our intelligent document automation technology, which asks you a series of easy-to-answer questions that tailor themselves to your circumstances. Each question is accompanied with explanatory notes designed to provide you with the information needed to answer the question correctly. The use of this document automation technology enables our law firm to keep legal fees low. Traditional law firms generating documents using “cut and paste” methods results in higher costs and higher legal fees.
The information you enter will be stored securely online, allowing you to access and complete the questionnaire at any time. Once your document is created one of the lawyers in our firm will be assigned to your case for further review and analysis.
Which Web browser do I need?
The minimum browser requirements for creating documents on the Web site are Internet Explorer version 6.0 and above, Firefox version 2.0 and above, Chrome, or Safari. You can assemble documents and legal forms using Rapidocs on a Windows, Macintosh or Linux computer.
I don’t understand what a question means or is referring to.
Most questions are accompanied by explanatory notes designed to provide you with the information needed to answer the question correctly. A small “?” (question mark) icon by any question indicates that there is explanatory text to help you answer a question. Click on the “?” to see the help text; click on the “?” again to close the help text pop up box.
I have a red asterisk next to a questions group after completing my document. What does this mean?
If you have a red asterisk next to a questions group, this shows that you have missed answering a question. Double click on the questions group to view and complete any unanswered questions. Questions specifically listed as “optional” or that have help text indicating the question may be skipped or left blank, can remain unanswered. Otherwise, complete required questions to ensure the accuracy of your document.
What happens when my document is reviewed and completed by your law firm?
You will receive an email advising you that your document is complete. The email will either have an attachment with the finished document, or the completed document or form will be uploaded to your secure MyLegalAffairs™ page where you can down load it.
How do I print my document?
Once you have logged into your MyLegalAffairs™ you will see a list of completed documents under the Document tab. Click on the assembled document directly and you can print a copy. You can also export the document to your desk top in MS Word or Adobe .PDF and print the document from your local printer.
