The Growing Problem of Unqualified & Unregulated Legal Docs Writers

(Posted on 23/07/11)

Whether it's the economy or a misunderstanding of the complexity of accurate legal writing, many folks are relying on unqualified legal writers for their important documents. Those documents include wills, property deeds and descriptions and divorce documents, just to name a few. While it's fine to save a few dollars whenever we can, the problem is too many are underestimating the importance of accuracy in our life's most important written documents. Now, a report exists that not only addresses this growing trend, but also serves as a call to action.

Chief Ombudsman for England and Wales, Adam Sampson, says there are a growing number of complaints being filed against companies and individuals who provide these services. Interestingly, and contrary to what many believe, many of our legal documents don't require a solicitor's input. And therein lies the problem. Strife with vulnerabilities such as wording that leave loopholes, it's often too late by the time those vulnerabilities are discovered by unsuspecting clients. Imagine going through a divorce believing a pre-nup is in place to protect assets and other agreements made prior to a marriage only to discover you're about to lose a winery that's been in your family for generations. These are the situations that are causing tremendous problems throughout the UK.

So what's the solution? There is no shortage of qualified solicitors in the UK who can ensure your legal documents do exactly what they're intended to do: protect you, your family and your assets. The fees paid to a legal professional who knows the various legalities associated with your needs is a small price to pay for that solid confidence in knowing you're covered. Solicitor.info has not only the names, addresses and contact information for solicitors in London and throughout England, but it also offers reviews provided by previous clients.

The goal is to provide an unbiased review process for clients and potential clients as they empower themselves when looking for the right legal firm.
