There's no denying the expense of a lawyer's services. Sometimes just for the smallest form to be set up you need to fork out a lot of money. But there are now services online that can help with that. Whether you need a template for a lease agreement, get a prenuptial agreement, or anything in between, you can access all the legal jargon without a law degree.

We've put together a list of some of the top sites around that'll give you the advice and forms you need for much of your legal requirements.

1. eForms

eForms

The second-largest legal website, eForms, is a significant player in the field. One of the main benefits of eForms that sets it apart from the rest is that it offers free downloadable templates for documents. Not everything is available for free, but many of the most common forms that you'd need are.

The most popular documents on eForms are Standard Residential Lease Agreements, Month-to-Month Rental Agreements, Motor Vehicle (DMV) Bill of Sale, Durable (Financial) Power of Attorney (DPOA) Form, Medical Power of Attorney (MPOA) Form, and Eviction Notice Templates. You can easily access these and many more for whichever state you live in. Unfortunately, you live outside the United States of America, eForms might not be the legal document site for you.

You have a 7-day free trial with eForms where you can access any of the documents, or you can start a monthly plan for $39. This gives you access to all the documents and unlimited revisions. You can choose a once-off payment of $45, which gives you unlimited access and revisions of one document, and no monthly costs. There's also the option to purchase the service for a year at $199.

LegalZoom

LegalZoom has been rated as the largest legal assistance website in the world by SimilarWeb. Its website is easy to use and welcoming, which is nice for a legal site. It has a large focus on helping people set up their businesses and testimonials all over to show their ease of use.

It has a larger focus on all your business needs from documentation to accounting and even office space. LegalZoom is mostly focused on an American audience but does still have a UK site, though it doesn't have a very large personal service, however, with only Wills being advertised.
