In Arizona, legal document preparers (LDPs) are certified professionals qualified to assist individuals and businesses in the preparation of legal documents independently of attorney supervision. LDPs may provide general legal information; however, they are prohibited from offering legal advice. It is important to note that a legal document preparer is not an attorney, does not work under the employment of an attorney, and is not permitted to offer legal advice. Additionally, communications with a legal document preparer are not subject to attorney-client privilege.

The process for preparing a legal document involves an initial consultation to understand your needs, gathering necessary information, drafting the document, and reviewing it with you for accuracy. Once finalized, the document is prepared for execution and, if required, notarization and recording.

I can assist with the preparation of various legal documents, including deeds, contracts, affidavits, and more. Please contact me with your specific needs to determine if I can assist.

To begin, please provide the property address so that I may access the most recent deed and confirm ownership. Once this has been verified, I will outline the necessary steps to achieve your objectives and subsequently furnish you with a quote. You may review the quote and determine how to proceed. There is no charge for retrieving this information.

Following our discussion and your acceptance of the estimate, your documents will be prepared within three to five business days upon receipt of payment.

In most instances, upon receipt of all signed and executed documents, they are submitted for recording, typically on the same day. After recording, you will be sent an email with PDF’s of the Official Recorded documents, and the originals will be mailed to the address provided.

The fee to prepare a document depends on the specific details and the intended outcome. Typically, the starting price for preparing a basic deed is $225, which covers both the preparation and recording service fees.

I accept various payment methods, including credit/debit cards, checks, and electronic transfers. Payment details will be provided during the consultation.

Notarization services are available by appointment. Alternatively, you may have the documents notarized at a location of your choice and return them by mail for recording.

If you are unable to locate a notary, I am able to assist by arranging for one to come to your location. Please note that the fee for this service begins at $50, in addition to the standard remote notary fee.

As a legal document preparer, I can provide general legal information but not legal advice. For legal advice, it is recommended to consult with a licensed attorney.

There is no fee for an initial consultation or for addressing any questions or concerns.

To schedule an appointment, please contact me via phone or email. I offer flexible scheduling options to accommodate your needs.
