What does attorney-prepared or attorney-reviewed mean?

Creating Documents

Attorney-prepared usually means a lawyer helped draft a general template. It does not mean a lawyer reviewed the user's facts, chose the form, or represents the user.

General information

  • A general template is designed for common cases.
  • Personal legal review looks at a specific document and set of facts.
  • Only a lawyer-client agreement can define the scope of actual representation.

Service steps to consider

  1. Asking what was reviewed, by whom, and for which state.
  2. Get personal advice if the document has unusual terms or major risk.

360 Legal Forms describes its forms as attorney-crafted or reviewed. Its Terms say the service is not a law firm and its automated checks do not review legal sufficiency. Customer support can explain website features and form fields, but it cannot select a form or legal terms, interpret a completed document, or explain how the law applies to a user's facts.

Important limits

  • Risk: treating 'attorney-prepared' as a promise that a lawyer approved the user's completed form. This article gives general information only. A licensed attorney can answer questions about a specific person's rights, risks, document choice, wording, or legal result.
