The definition of unauthorized practice of law varies from state to state, so providing a specific answer is difficult. But generally (and note that we indicate generally, as in not a firm rule), merely gathering information and forms and typing a document at the direction of another, without substantive input, would not be considered the unauthorized practice of law.
If I Gather Information and Prepare a Legal Form for Another, Am I Practicing Law Without a License?
