- Are these templates free?
- Yes, free to download and use.
- Are they drafted for UK law?
- Yes, they are written for use in the UK rather than adapted from a US original.
- Do I still need a solicitor?
- A template is a starting point, not advice. It cannot know your circumstances, and anything with money or liability attached is worth a solicitor reading before you sign it.
- Can I edit them?
- Yes. They are meant to be adapted to the transaction in front of you.
- Do you have templates for use inside a law firm?
- Writford also ships document templates inside the app, which generate from a matter's own details rather than needing to be filled in by hand. These free ones are business documents for any organisation.
