Legal Document Preparation Business


Before beginning a Legal Document Preparation Business, a good amount of soul searching and forethought is in order. Almost every legal document preparer who you might ask -- Why did you become a legal document preparer? -- will give you a very personal answer. Very few of us planned to be in this specific business. Many legal document preparers had planned to go to law school, or went to law school and then were unable to follow through. Many others completed a paralegal or legal assisting course of study, and worked for a law office for a time. Many legal document preparers continue to work as "freelance paralegals" alongside their document preparation businesses.

Becoming a Legal Document Preparer


In Florida, legal document preparers are lay practitioners who provide document preparation services directly to the public. There is no specific licensing or education requirement to become a Florida legal document preparer.

The Florida Association of Legal Document Preparers, FALDP, has formulated some basic standards to join this association. The basic standards are both academic and experiential. Years of experience preparing Florida legal documents can substitute for formal training.

FALDP offers online courses for new legal document preparers, and for legal document preparers relocating to Florida from other states.

PREPARING FLORIDA DIVORCE DOCUMENTS

Our Online Courses are offered to help you gain more professional knowledge. We are in the process of creating a business development center for Florida legal document preparation. This is not a franchise, or a "home based business opportunity", but assistance in creating a complete business that you will own and operate yourself. In addition to offering courses, we can also help you create your website, plan your marketing, and decide on your business structure. Please check back soon for more information.


Our newsletter the "FALDP Docket" is a free and informative way to learn about our industry and our association. It comes out every month and includes announcements, industry changes, and a "Member Spotlight" column.
