These Terms and Conditions govern use of the LegalDoc-Prep website and provide general information about our services. A separate written Legal Document Assistant Contract for Self-Help Services sets out the services, fees, and terms of each engagement. These website Terms do not replace that contract or limit your statutory rights.
Important Notice
LegalDoc-Prep is not a law firm and does not provide legal advice or legal representation. Documents are prepared at the client’s specific direction by a Registered and Bonded California Legal Document Assistant.
01. About LegalDoc-Prep
LegalDoc-Prep provides legal document preparation services for self-represented individuals in California.
LegalDoc-Prep is operated by David Weissman, a Registered and Bonded California Legal Document Assistant (LDA), registered with Sacramento County, Registration #2019-01, expiring January 20, 2027.
LegalDoc-Prep is not a law firm. LegalDoc-Prep and its Legal Document Assistant do not provide legal advice, legal representation, or attorney services.
Documents are prepared at the client’s specific direction based on information provided by the client.
If you need legal advice, interpretation of the law, advice regarding your legal rights, or representation in court, you should consult a licensed attorney.
02. Use of This Website
The information provided on this website is intended for general informational purposes and to describe the legal document preparation services offered by LegalDoc-Prep.
Information available on this website should not be interpreted as legal advice and does not create an attorney-client relationship.
Use of this website or submission of an inquiry does not, by itself, establish a client relationship with LegalDoc-Prep. You are welcome to describe your document preparation needs in your own words. The initial conversation explains our services and process; it does not provide legal advice.
03. Legal Document Preparation Services
LegalDoc-Prep assists clients with the preparation of legal documents based on information and specific instructions provided by the client.
Services may include document preparation relating to matters such as family court, probate, estate planning documents, conservatorships, guardianships, deeds, name changes, QDROs, and other document preparation services permitted for a California Legal Document Assistant.
The availability and scope of services may depend on the circumstances of each request and whether the requested service can lawfully be performed by a Legal Document Assistant.
LegalDoc-Prep reserves the right to decline a request that falls outside the permitted scope of document preparation services.
04. Client Responsibilities
Clients are responsible for providing complete, truthful, accurate, and timely information necessary for document preparation.
LegalDoc-Prep prepares documents based on the information and instructions provided by the client and is not responsible for errors or delays resulting from incomplete, inaccurate, outdated, or omitted information supplied by the client.
Clients are responsible for carefully reviewing prepared documents and promptly informing LegalDoc-Prep of any factual errors or requested corrections before documents are signed, submitted, served, recorded, or filed.
Clients remain responsible for their legal matter, decisions, deadlines, court appearances, filing requirements, and compliance with instructions issued by courts or government agencies unless a particular administrative service has expressly been included in the services agreed upon.
05. No Legal Advice or Representation
LegalDoc-Prep cannot select legal strategies, determine legal rights, recommend a particular course of legal action, interpret the law for a client, or represent a client in court.
Information provided through this website, communications, forms, questionnaires, or document preparation services is not a substitute for advice from a licensed attorney.
When a matter requires legal advice or legal representation, clients should consult a qualified California attorney.
06. Fees and Payment
Fees for document preparation services may vary depending on the type and scope of services requested.
Before services begin, LegalDoc-Prep and the client will sign the written Legal Document Assistant Contract for Self-Help Services prescribed by the California Department of Consumer Affairs. The contract will identify the agreed services, fees, costs, and payment arrangements, and each client will receive a fully executed copy before any services are provided.
Unless otherwise agreed, fees charged by courts, government agencies, process servers, recording offices, notaries, or other third parties are separate from LegalDoc-Prep’s document preparation fees.
Any change to the agreed services or fees will be documented and agreed to before the additional work begins.
07. Cancellations and Refunds
You may cancel your Legal Document Assistant Contract for Self-Help Services for any reason within 24 hours after both you and the Legal Document Assistant have signed it.
To cancel, send written notice by first-class mail with proper postage to LegalDoc-Prep at the business address below, or deliver written notice to that address within the 24-hour period. A cancellation sent by mail is effective on the postmark date.
If you cancel within that period, fees paid must be refunded immediately, except for services actually, necessarily, and reasonably performed during the period with your knowledge and express written agreement in the contract.
You also retain cancellation and refund rights when a required contract, description of services and costs, or required language version is not provided, as well as any other rights available under California law. The separate written service contract explains these rights. Nothing in these website Terms limits them.
08. Court Filing and Processing
Court filing procedures, processing times, hearings, decisions, acceptance of documents, and other actions taken by courts or government agencies are outside the control of LegalDoc-Prep.
LegalDoc-Prep cannot guarantee that a court, government agency, recording office, or other third party will accept, approve, process, or decide a matter in a particular way or within a particular period.
Court rules, forms, filing procedures, fees, and processing times may change without notice.
09. No Guarantee of Outcome
LegalDoc-Prep does not guarantee the outcome of any legal proceeding, filing, application, petition, request, or other legal matter.
The preparation of documents does not guarantee that documents will be accepted by a court or agency or that a client will obtain a particular result.
