What these templates are not

  • They are self-help templates, not legal advice, and they do not replace a lawyer.
  • Laws differ from country to country, and some rules cannot be changed by contract. Each template ends with a checklist of what to check where you live.
  • For a high-value or unusual situation, ask a local lawyer or notary to look at the final text.
