COPYRIGHT-NAME.COM provides an online common law portal to give visitors a general understanding
of the common law and to provide an automated software solution to individuals who choose to
prepare their own common law documents. To that extent, the Site includes general information on
commonly encountered common law issues. COPYRIGHT-NAME's Services also include a review of your
answers for completeness, spelling and grammar, and for internal consistency of names, addresses
and the like. At no time do we review your answers for legal sufficiency, draw legal conclusions,
provide legal or tax advice or apply the law to the facts of your particular situation.
COPYRIGHT-NAME and its Services are not substitutes for the advice of an attorney.
COPYRIGHT-NAME strives to keep its common law documents accurate, current and up-to-date. However,
because the law changes rapidly, COPYRIGHT-NAME cannot guarantee that all of the information on the
