LawCentral’s legal documents are authored by lawyers working in those particular areas of practice. LawCentral is not the author of any legal documents on its websites. LawCentral is not a law firm.

LawCentral does not offer a review service to see if your document is legally binding or fit for your particular purpose. If in doubt then you should speak to a lawyer.

If your document is based on incorrect answers then you may suffer adversely. You may not get the document that you wanted or the outcome that you wanted.

Start of page

The author of all legal documents at LawCentral is the lawyer that puts the document up at LawCentral. The lawyer keeps copyright in the document. No one else is legally the author. The lawyer has the sole control of that document. Therefore, the usual answer to your question is 'no'. 

However, you need to be careful that you do not interpret a question or explain one of LawCentral's hints. If you do then you may be giving legal advice if you are producing a legal document that only lawyers are allowed to prepare.

There seems to be some latitude when it comes to setting up Unit Trusts, Family Trusts and Self Managed Superannuation Funds. Most are set up by accountants and advisers on behalf of their clients. LawCentral prepares 100s of Division 7A Loan Agreements most of those are prepared by Accountants on behalf of their clients. Provided you are only acting as a mere scribe, you generally are not giving legal advice.

However, if you prefer, stick the client in front of your computer to answer the questions.
