Legal documents can be stressful. The average employee does not understand the verbiage and is easily frustrated. The greatest danger is to sign a document without understanding the obligations or consequences buried within the paperwork.
Common Problems
Some issues make legal documents a pain in the neck.
*Outdated or Invalid Forms. Landlords who own properties in several states may use an out of state lease, which is invalid. These documents might not include current information required by recent changes in the law. The tenant is thus being held accountable for a paper that has no legal standing.
*Misspelling or Using the Wrong Words. It frequently happens when people make drafting legal documents a DIY project. Contract law requires specific terms that must be used. Misspellings and the wrong words can make a binding text worth less than the paper it is written on.
*General Confusion. A layperson gets confused by some of the clauses. He or she cannot figure out what the language means, and it causes problems. Warranties will specify terms and what parts are allowed in repair work. A company will not honor a warranty that uses the wrong parts. Not everyone is aware of that.
Problems with legal documents make people hesitate to sign a paper that might benefit them. Group legal plans will offer legal document review, but the quality of service may not be the best. Countrywide Pre-Paid Legal Services will allow Group Legal Plan members to get legal documents reviewed from highly professional lawyers.
Paying Attention to Detail
A nationwide network of attorneys enables Countrywide to have one in a client organization’s community. A Countrywide lawyer will review documents up to six pages long as a Pre-Paid Legal Services benefit.
The attorney knows where to look for problems. This legal professional spots errors and points out where corrections are essential. It is a smart idea to have legal counsel review a document before signing it. Unfortunately, a Group Legal Plan member sometimes forgets and signs an invalid lease.
Countrywide provides secondary pre-paid legal services that help. Our lawyers may write letters on legal stationery or make telephone calls on behalf of the Group Legal Plan member. The other party is thereby informed the document is worthless, and a new one, with the required improvements, must be used instead.
