F.A.Q.

Can a Legal Document Assistant (LDA) handle all types of legal documents?

While LDAs are skilled in preparing a wide range of legal documents such as wills, divorce papers, and business filings, they have limitations. LDAs cannot provide legal advice, interpret the law, or represent clients in court. They excel in straightforward document preparation and procedural guidance. For complex legal issues requiring in-depth legal analysis, it is advisable to consult with an attorney.

How is hiring an LDA different from hiring an attorney?

Hiring an LDA differs from hiring an attorney in several ways. LDAs cannot provide legal advice or represent clients in court, whereas attorneys are trained to offer legal guidance and can represent clients in legal proceedings. Attorneys have a deeper understanding of complex legal issues. LDAs specialize in uncontested document preparation, procedural guidance, and legal research at a more affordable rate, making legal assistance more accessible.

What services do Legal Document Assistants provide?

LDAs provide document preparation services for:

  • Family Law (divorce, child support, custody modifications)
  • Business (LLC formation, contracts, trademarks)
  • Wills and Trusts (wills, living trusts, power of attorney)
  • Probate (small estate affidavits, spousal property petitions)
  • Real Estate (quitclaim deeds, trust transfer deeds)
  • Notary services and more.
What are the benefits of hiring a Legal Document Assistant instead of doing it myself?

Engaging the services of an LDA offers several benefits:

  • Expertise in document preparation ensures accuracy and compliance with legal standards.
  • Knowledge of required forms and procedures specific to your case.
  • Saves time and reduces the risk of errors that could result in costly refiling.
  • Personalized service tailored to your specific needs, which is often more reliable than online DIY solutions.
Are there limitations on the services provided by LDAs?

Yes, LDAs cannot:

  • Provide legal advice
  • Interpret the law
  • Represent clients in court

They are best suited for routine legal matters where individuals need assistance with paperwork and procedural steps without the need for legal interpretation.

How much do LDA services typically cost?

LDA services are generally more affordable than hiring an attorney. LDAs typically offer services at a reasonable flat fee, ensuring transparency with no hidden costs. Prices vary depending on the complexity and type of document preparation required.
