WHAT YOU RECEIVE WHEN PURCHASING STANDARD LEGAL'S POWER OF ATTORNEY LEGAL DOCUMENT PREPARATION SERVICE: Allow the Standard Legal document preparation professionals to create a Power of Attorney for you – one that is effective and legally binding. A Power of Attorney document allows one person to designate another person to handle the business, financial and legal affairs of the person signing the form, either for a specific function or for overall day-to-day needs. THESE POWER OF ATTORNEY FORMS ARE VERY POWERFUL LEGAL DOCUMENTS! The person(s) named as "attorney-in-fact" will have the ability -- once these documents are signed, witnessed and notarized and provided to such person(s) -- to conduct the business, transaction or engage in the conduct set forth on the document. In short, these documents allow the persons named as attorney-in-fact to carry out the business of the person signing this document, the same way as if he or she could do it him or herself. The persons named as "attorney-in-fact" must be trustworthy and have the best interest of the person signing this document in mind, so this program and the resulting forms should be used with the utmost care. With your legal document preparation service purchase, you receive the following completed Power of Attorney documents: - Durable Power of Attorney A Durable Power of Attorney is a powerful document. While there are many uses for this document, it is most often utilized by individuals who cannot or no longer wish to engage in certain transactions. Standard Legal will customize the Durable Power of Attorney document to allow the person that is appointed as "attorney-in-fact" to conduct or engage in most ANY FORM OR TYPE of business on the part of the person that signs the Power of Attorney form - such as buying, selling or transferring property, signing documents, purchasing assets, opening bank accounts, buying stocks, etc., all in the name of the person signing the document (and with money owned by the person signing the Power of Attorney document). - Limited Power of Attorney A Limited Power of Attorney is used to permit the appointed "attorney-in-fact" to conduct or engage in specific business or transaction that are listed right on the Power of Attorney document. Standard Legal will customize this Limited Power of Attorney to meet your specific requirements. This document differs from the Durable Power of Attorney in two ways: 1) The authority granted under this document is limited to the tasks, business or transactions specifically stated in the document; 2) The authority granted under this document is limited in time, i.e. if the action or business is not taken or engaged in by the date set forth on the document, the authority to do the same lapses. This customized document is appropriate for those individuals who cannot take certain actions on their own and want to appoint another to take these limited actions for them. Using information that you provide, Standard Legal Network can tailor this Power of Attorney to the limited circumstances that you need. - Revocation of Power of Attorney A Revocation of Power of Attorney is used to end a Power of Attorney and restore only you as legally designated to handle your business and financial matters. Standard Legal document preparation professionals will provide you with a form that you can use to terminate the relationship with your appointed "attorney in fact."

SAVE EVEN MORE: STANDARD LEGAL SOFTWARE CUSTOMERS GET A "PURCHASE PRICE CREDIT" ON DOCUMENT PREPARATION PRICES!

Say you've already purchased one of Standard Legal's do-it-yourself legal form software titles.

Then you decide that you would be better served having one of our professionals prepare those same legal documents for you.

Here's where we give you a break.

Standard Legal will credit the full price of the software you've already purchased against the price of the document preparation service you want!

So if you've already purchased the Last Will and Testament software for $14.95 and then decide you want Standard Legal to prepare a completed Will document for you, we will deduct the $14.95 you've already spent on the software from the price of the document preparation service!

Just our way of treating loyal customers with respect...


Note: the title of the software purchased and the type of document you wish to have us prepare must match (i.e. you only get credit if you want us to prepare a Will document and you previously purchased the Will software). Further, the software purchase must have been made in the same name as the person for whom the documents will be prepared, and that purchase must be verifiable in our records, made within the past year.



HOW DO I KNOW WHICH DOCUMENT OR DOCUMENTS I NEED?

Remember, Standard Legal is not authorized to advise you as to which documents you may need; such advice would fall under the "practice of law." Under the guidelines for legal document preparation services, you must make all legal decisions yourself -- including decisions about the type of documents you need.

Standard Legal provides detailed descriptions of each of the documents available for its preparation services. Standard Legal also provides a sample of each document available for purchase; you can see a portion of any document so that you can be sure that the completed document will meet your needs. Detailed information concerning each specific document preparation topic is also available, as well as general information about most subjects at the Standard Legal Law Library.

If you have reviewed the sample forms we provide, read the topic-specific information we offer concerning the documents, and have reviewed our Law Library articles but still do not know which document or service will best suit your needs, you should consult an attorney before choosing your documents. (Or you should consider having an attorney handle your case; visit our Attorney Find program for details.)

If you are unsure as to whether or not you can use the Standard Legal Network document preparation service, please contact us. Based on the information you provide, if document preparation services are available to you, Standard Legal Network will suggest an appropriate legal form -- or will refer you to its Attorney Find so that you can contact a qualified attorney to seek legal advice.



WHAT IF I KNOW HOW TO COMPLETE THE DOCUMENT MYSELF?

Then you should! Standard Legal offers a variety of do-it-yourself legal form software titles that you can purchase and prepare on your own. If you know which forms you need and can prepare the documents yourself, Standard Legal Software is the way to go! Learn more...





IMPORTANT NOTE FOR CALIFORNIA RESIDENTS: The State of California has costly and complex registration requirements for each county in that state to become what they call "legal document assistants". As such, Standard Legal is not registered and bonded for document preparation service in any county in the State of California and cannot provide these services to any California resident. However, Standard Legal Software and the legal forms and documents contained within are valid and binding in the State of California and can be purchased and used by California residents. Further, California residents can also use our free "Attorney Find" service to help find a local attorney to create documents for them.

DISCLAIMER: The Standard Legal Network's documentation preparation service is not a law firm, does not act as your attorney, and is not a substitute for the advice for an attorney. Standard Legal Network does not provide any legal advice, and none of the information provided herein or on any completed document should be construed as legal advice. Standard Legal Network can assist you in completing legal forms when you are seeking to represent yourself in your own legal matters. If you need legal representation, are involved in litigation, or have complex legal issues that cannot be handled or dealt with on your own, you should seek competent legal advice and/or hire an attorney. Our legal documentation preparation service uses the answers you provide to automatically populate Standard Legal software legal forms and complete them on your behalf. Our review of your answers is limited solely to completeness, spelling and grammar, internal consistency of names, addresses and the like. At no time do we review your answers for legal sufficiency, draw legal conclusions, provide advice or apply the law to the facts of your particular situation. Our company cannot provide legal advice for any situation or case. As such we cannot make personal recommendations as to what documents should or should not be used and cannot attempt to predict the legal impact of using any certain response or form. This document preparation service is not intended to create an attorney-client relationship, and by using our services, no attorney-client relationship will be created. You are totally and solely responsible for your own selections and actions. Again, Standard Legal Network cannot make any recommendations for any corrections or changes to the documents or their application, content or use. Any text that is to be revised or replaced must be identified appropriately and detailed replacement text must be provided by the customer. In short, our customers have the option of either (a) providing us with detailed exact replacement text or (b) revising the document themselves. If Standard Legal Network is asked to make drastic changes or ongoing revisions to any documents, additional charges may be warranted. These situations are considered on a case-by-case basis, and no additional charges are ever made without a customer's direct approval.
