## Finding a Lawyer

Extended Family applications in beYou are processed by any active beYou Lawyer. Lawyers can be found by either visiting the main beYou sim and seeing who is online on the lawyer boards or by using the profession search feature on the website to see which lawyers have been active in the past few days at: https://www.beyouworld.com/searchProfessionals?professionName=Lawyer

NOTE: The web search will not tell you who is online at the time of your search; just who's been online recently.

To search other professions you can use the navigation menu and select Professions --> Search Professionals. From here you simply select the desired one and click Search.

## About Extended Family Applications

Extended family applications allow for members to be added to a family without being married or adopted in. This is necessary for such things like Aunts, Uncles, Cousins, etc.. Previously, a beYou family only consisted of parents and kids. We are now expanding families to include whoever you want and can be as large as you want. **NOTE they can not already be in another family**

### How Law Forms work

If you are an active beYou Lawyer, you will purchase forms from an educator on the markets. Once purchased, they will automatically be added to your assets based. This will then allow you to submit these forms on your lawyer page on the main beYou website.

### How to Process Extended Family Form (Web Form)

If you want to add a family member, you must first find a Lawyer who can process the application for you (if you are not already an active Lawyer in beYou).

On the website, Navigate to the Law hyperlink under Professions click on the Extended Family tab (you will need to scroll to mid page) click on the New Extended Family button. Fill all required fields on the form.

**Lawyer Key**: Your Key \*\* This cannot be changed \*\*

**Lawyer Name**: Your Name \*\* This cannot be changed \*\*

**Family Name**: This is the family name that the user is being added to. Please be sure to allow the auto lookup to match the name for you.

**Existing Family Member**: This is the name of the person who is adding this new family member and it must match exactly. They can be any member of the family.

**New Family Member**: This is the name of the person who is being added in. This name must match exactly.

Spelling

* Please make sure to enter the names correctly. As you begin typing the user's name (or the family name) it will automatically start providing names that match. Be sure to select from the list to ensure proper spelling. If an invalid name is entered it will not process the application.

#### Confirmations

* **All** parties will have to visit their profile on the beYou website (http://www.beyouworld.com/me) and confirm the request. Without this **confirmation from all parties involved**, **the request will not process** and will retain the status of "Unconfirmed".

#### Fulfilment Code

* Once processed, the extended family certificate will be available via a gift on the user's profile page. The fulfillment code will be generated and will be visible on the family section of your profile page. The lawyer who processes the application will also have this code available if needed by the client.

Application processing times are based on the lawyer level. Expect 5 days for level 0. This will get faster as the level goes up.

## REMINDERS

* If the "Existing Family Member" is not the Head of Household, this will trigger a confirmation for both themselves, the party to be added AND the Head of Household. This means there will be a total of 3 confirmations that must be approved before this will move forward.

* It the requestor is the Head of House hold, only 2 confirmations will be needed, the Head of household and the person they are adding to the family.

* **Failing to get ALL the members to confirm will result in the application not being processed completely.**
