Get Legal Forms with Gale


With our Gale Legal Forms database, patrons have access to hundreds of legal forms. Many of these will be generic and individual states might have variations of the forms but this is an invaluable resource to have. Subjects can be browsed through a search box. Many of the subjects that are retrieved are divided into subcategories which are very specific. For example, looking up legal forms involving animals the user might find such subcategories as breeding, hunting, and pets.

There are other ways to search the database. There is a legal definitions section A-Z which acts as a great legal dictionary. There is a section that lists tax forms for various states for individuals and businesses. If someone is looking for an attorney there is a directory which lists lawyers by states and specialties. One can find lawyers who specialize in everything from malpractice law to name changes.

There is a section for relevant external links. From here, a patron can gain access to the web pages for the Office of Motor Vehicles, the Louisiana Secretary of State, the IRS, and voter registration. Gale Legal Forms also has the Law Digest where one can identify points of law from reported cases. It is divided by subjects, personal names, and case names. There is also a list of common legal questions with question categories. Questions are listed pertaining to such varied topics as annulments to right to inherit.

There are also articles from the publication Legal Life which answers legal questions on such topics as death and legalities of handling aging parents. There is a Helpful Topics section listing subjects such as landlord/tenant rights and wills. If someone is trying to save time they can consult the Most Popular Legal Forms section where the database’s most searched forms are listed such as those pertaining to divorce, name change, and paternity.

For individuals who would like to handle legal concerns themselves without consulting an attorney or who would like to make things easier for their lawyers, Gale Legal Forms is a quick, easy to use database for finding legal documents.
