Common Legal Documents

You should be able to find several indispensable facts about legal documents in the following paragraphs. If there's at least one fact you didn't know before, imagine the difference it might make. Legal letters and documents are essential requirements in life. Whether selling a house, buying a car, or making a will, they all require proper legal documentation. There are legal standards that have to be maintained while preparing legal documents so that they are acceptable in courts. There was a time when getting any legal document was a very expensive affair as the lawyers had to spend a lot of time preparing the documents. Today there are many ready made formats for documents (also called legal forms) that can be downloaded straight via the Internet. What are the common legal documents? Here is a list, Power of Attorney Authorization of Agent Sole Distributorship Marriage/Divorce/Death certificate Affidavit Bid or Tender Letters Trade Marks Registration Packing List Bill of Lading/ Airway Bill Commercial certificate/agreement To whom it may concern Translations Documents Real Estate and Property Documents Employment Letter Agreement/Certificate of Incorporation Purchase or sale agreement / Agency Agreements Registration of Partnerships, Corporations / Joint Ventures Medical Report Hopefully the information presented so far has been applicable. You might also want to consider the following: It is true that one can save substantially if going for one of the ready made forms but most of the time it becomes essential to get an opinion from an advocate and the legal form in itself cannot be a substitute for professional legal advice. Forms and formats requirements however can differ from one US State to another. Legal instruments are slowly going electronic and now one can sign digital documents with date and stamp and even get it authenticated. However it has yet to be uniformly accepted in all the US States and as of now the law varies considerably in intent, coverage, cryptographic understanding, and effect. So now you know a little bit about legal documents. Even if you don't know everything, you've done something worthwhile: you've expanded your knowledge.
