Life's paperwork, explained like a neighbor who read the statute.
Some paperwork arrives at hard moments — a death in the family, a property transfer, a parent who needs help. Forms & Steps maps the official process in plain language: the steps in order, the government's own forms linked, and every legal statement backed by the statute it comes from.
The guides
- California
Small estate affidavit
Collecting a loved one's property without probate — who qualifies, the waiting period, and the affidavit, statute by statute.
- Texas
Quitclaim deed
What a quitclaim actually transfers, when it's the wrong tool, and how recording works at the county clerk.
- Florida
Power of attorney
Florida's execution rules — two witnesses, a notary, and the powers that must be initialed separately.
More states and more processes are on the way — we publish a guide only when every fact in it is verified against the statute text.
How we work
We link official forms; we don't imitate them. When a state publishes the form, the state's version is the one you should use — our job is the part governments are bad at: explaining it.
Every rule cites its statute. Each guide shows its sources inline, so you (or your attorney) can check our work in one click. If we can't verify a fact against the statute or an official source, we say so instead of guessing.
No signup, no upsell maze. The guides are free. When we sell something — like a guided document pack — it will say so plainly, once, with the price on it.
