There is no legal requirement for a document to be drafted by a lawyer, and individuals are free to draft their own documents if they wish to.
However, in order for someone to practise law in your jurisdiction, they must be a licensed lawyer. For example, advising you on your specific legal rights in regards to a contract, or drafting a contract for you, is practising law, and must only be done by a lawyer.
LawDepot.com does not provide advice specific to any individual’s situation. We provide general legal information. We also do not draft or tailor the contract for the person's specific fact situation. The individual customer must decide for themselves which contract best suits their own needs and what information to provide on the questionnaire in preparing their own document.
While we make it easy for a customer to know how to complete the questions and to make informed decisions, it is the customer that decides what is best for their specific situation. Some of our customers have saved on legal fees by drafting their document at LawDepot.com then taking that draft to their lawyer for minor tweaks to reflect the customer's specific situation.
