MaxWills is a legal document preparation service. MaxWills is NOT a law firm and does NOT provide legal advice.
No attorney-client relationship is created by using MaxWills. If you need legal advice specific to your situation, you must consult a licensed Texas attorney.
MaxWills is a document preparation software service. It is not a law firm and it is not a substitute for the advice of an attorney. We use SI technology to help you create estate planning document drafts based on your answers to an interview.
MaxWills was created by Stephen T. Bowling, a licensed Texas attorney (State Bar of Texas). Mr. Bowling's role in creating this service is as a product designer — he helped design the interview questions and document templates. His involvement as creator does not constitute legal representation of any user of this service. He is not your attorney by virtue of your use of MaxWills.
Texas Government Code § 81.101(a) says the "practice of law" includes giving advice or rendering any service requiring the use of legal skill or knowledge, such as preparing a will, contract, or other instrument, the legal effect of which must be carefully determined. Subsection (c) says the practice of law does not include the design, creation, publication, distribution, display, or sale of written materials, books, forms, computer software, or similar products if the products clearly and conspicuously state that the products are not a substitute for the advice of an attorney. That subsection does not authorize use of the products in violation of Chapter 83 of the Government Code. See Tex. Gov't Code § 81.101(a), (c).
MaxWills is offered as software of that kind: it is not a substitute for the advice of an attorney. We help you fill out and generate documents based on your instructions. We do not advise you on which documents are right for your situation, what legal strategy to pursue, or how to structure your estate — those are legal advice functions that require a licensed attorney.
If you purchase Attorney Review from MaxWills, your documents will be reviewed by a licensed Texas attorney at Texas Defense Team, a Texas law firm. That review:
The attorney review fee is paid to the law firm, not to MaxWills. MaxWills facilitates the connection; the legal work is performed by the law firm under its own professional responsibility obligations.
