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.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great Title, July 3, 2003

By	Burt Huffman (Bay Area, CA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: 101 Law Forms for Personal Use, Third Edition (Paperback)

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.

By A Customer

This review is from: 101 Law Forms for Personal Use, Third Edition (Paperback)

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.

2.0 out of 5 stars No durable power of attorny, December 27, 2008

By	Cristina Echavarren "Cristina" (Maryland) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This review is from: 101 Law Forms for Personal Use (Book & CD-Rom) (Paperback)

I was very disappointed with the book because it did not contain a template for a durable power of attorney. The only power of attorney document I need to prepare is a durable power of attorney, and this was not included with the book, even though the Table of Contents and Index imply there is sufficient information to prepare this document.
