Not all legal and financial transactions require lawyers and fancy contracts. Nolo Press's 101 Law Forms for Personal Use offers--you guessed it--101 standard legal forms for everything from estate planning to getting rid of pesky telemarketers. Written by attorneys Robin Leonard and Ralph Warner with the assistance of Nolo Press's editorial staff, these contracts are clear and well defined, written in simple, straightforward language. Along with the forms, which come in tear-out sheets as well as on an accompanying Windows-compatible disk, each section also offers clear, step-by-step procedures that are associated with each event or transaction. For example, the section on estate planning also includes beneficiary worksheets, three different types of wills, and an explanation of what procedures must be carried out for your will to be legally valid. Whether you are renting an apartment, selling your car, or simply working out a budget, 101 Law Forms for Personal Use will help ensure your transaction is simple, legal, and trouble-free.

 101 law forms June 12, 2007

It was recomended, but did not cover the area i need. Not the books fault.
Another quality title from Nolo that is worth every penny April 5, 2007

Nolo Press was founded on the principle that not all legal transactions require retention of a lawyer. Many straightforward documents can be drafted and completed with the aid of a Nolo title sich as 101 Law Forms for Personal Use. This book, co-authored by attorneys, is divided into chapters on childcare and elder care, estate planning, will execution, landlord/tenant documents, financial documents, home ownership, personal property sales and rentals, home repair, living agreements, personal finances, consumer rights, and legal disputes. The forms are available in tear-out form and in a rich text format on CD-ROM. The rich text forms are perfect for editing and modification--one can delete and add clauses as necessary to customize the forms. I use this reference monthly for rental agreements, to draft complaint letters, and personal financial and consumer transactions. The language on the forms is simple and to-the-point.
This book is a steal at the cover price of $29.99, and Amazon regularly offers it at 30% off. Don't waste your time with software packages from the office supply store. Buy this quality product from a 35-year-plus leader in legal self-help advice. You stand to save hundreds or thousands of dollars in legal fees by doing this groundwork yourself. Nolo is quick to point out when situations get too complex for their simple forms, so be sure to heed the book's advice about turning to a lawyer if your situation warrants attention beyond the scope of the book.
These are simple law forms, and Nolo offers books which go into more detail on subjects such as landlord/tenant agreements and wills. While everyone should have this reference item in the home library, if you are planning to seriously set up your estate and trusts, or work part-time as a landlord, you should pick up one of the titles that goes into more depth on those specific subjects.
Great Title July 3, 2003

This book is fantastic. There is a wealth of useful forms for everything you can imagine. I recieved this book as a gift and though that it would just take up space on my bookshelf. Ironically it has been the most referred to and used book I have ever owned. I have used the book to set up a power of attorney, prepare a tenants notice to move out, demand the return of a security deposit, complete a loan comparison worksheet, and to sell my dog. This book provides the forms and the explanation to do eveything I mentioned as well as a ton of other common transactions. It has saved me hundreds of dollars and I beleive that anyone who buys this book will cover the cost of the book within three months by making use of the forms and instructions provided.
A must have for an intelligent frugal like myself July 2, 2003

This book was terrific. If you have half a brain and like to save money this book is a must have. It contians almost every essentail form that you will need and it explians what they are and how to use them in a clear and concise way that even my nine year old niece could understand. And I guarantee that you will rely on this thing at least once a year for the rest of your life it is just that useful.

I PERSONALLY FOUND THE BOOK TO BE VERY USEFUL AND INFORMATIVE. IT WAS EASY TO USE AND IT WILL ALLOW ANYONE, YES EVEN SOME ONE WHO HAS NEVER WRITTEN A LEGAL DOCUMENT BEFORE, TO MAKE THERE OWN IN NO TIME AT ALL. i WOULD RECOMMEND THIS BOOK TO BE A DEST REFERENCE FOR LEGAL SECRETARIES JUST STARTING OUT AND TO ANYONE WHO NEEDS A DOCUMENT AND WOULD LIKE TO DO IT THERE SELF.
