{CWho needs legal forms?
EVERYONE DOES!  It's no secret that modern society has become "sue-happy",
with lawsuits, even frivolous lawsuits, being filed at the drop of a hat.
 
An example:  suppose you want to sell your car.  The old way was to simply
exchange money for the title.  But what if, soon after the sale, something
goes wrong with the car?  Something that causes an accident?  YOU COULD BE
SUED.  You may win, but just the legal fees in defending yourself could
easily run into thousands, even tens of thousands of dollars.
 
Solution:  use the "Bill of Sale: Automobile" form (found in version 2),
which contains key points that will give you a significant level of
protection against lawsuits.
 
Version 2.0's "Bill of Sale: General" is also useful when selling used
appliances (anything electrical), that poses a fire or shock hazard.

{CDISCLAIMER
 
The legal forms in Cybernetic Attorney are valid in all states except
Louisiana (Louisiana's legal codes are based on French law, while all other
states' codes are based on English common law).
 
NO COLLECTION OF LEGAL FORMS CAN TAKE THE PLACE OF AN ATTORNEY.  There may
be special circumstances, unique to your situation, that can generate 
subtle legal nuances, that only a lawyer can properly handle.  The safest
way to use these forms is to fill them out, showing them to your attorney,
asking, "Can I use this form for my situation?"  Your attorney's fees for
reviewing the form should be much less than creating a form from scratch.
 
Because of the unpredictable variables concerning legal matters, 
THIS PROGRAM IS PROVIDED "AS IS", AND IS WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND,
EITHER EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, THE IMPLIED
WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY OR FITNESS OF PURPOSE.
