Start in the right place

What legal document do I need?

It depends on your situation, so tell us in one sentence. We point you to the best one to three places to go: a guided template you fill in yourself, a free tool, or our drafting service when you already have a case in court.

  1. Best match: Drafted for you

    Letters testamentary petition

    Banks will not deal with an executor until the court issues letters. We draft the petition.

  2. Drafted for you

    Probate petition drafting

    Opening an estate takes a petition, notices and a proposed order. We draft them.

  3. Build it yourself

    Small Estate Affidavit template

    Collect a small estate without a full probate, where your state allows it.

Where most situations land

Family, estate and planning

Wills, powers of attorney, trusts, custody and what happens when someone dies.

Agreements, money and housing

Contracts, leases, deposits, loans and getting paid what you are owed.

A case already in court

You were served, a motion was filed, a hearing is set, or you want to appeal.

This page points you to documents and tools; it is not legal advice. Legal Tank is not a law firm and does not represent anyone in court. Our attorneys draft documents; you or your own attorney sign and file them.
