Legal Forms Database a Powerful Tool

We are continuing to highlight our new database offerings here at Search Smart by taking a look at Gale Legal Forms.  Go to the library's homepage and scroll down to the Gale Legal Forms link, located below Resource Links on the right-hand side of the page, to access the site.  Enter your library card number when prompted.

The site is very robust, yet simple to use.  Tools like a legal terms dictionary, legal Q&A, law digest, attorney directory, and tax form links are available.  The legal forms themselves are obviously the key resource and the selection covers a wide range of legal topics.  Bankruptcy, Power of Attorney, Divorce, Wills & Estates, Real Estate, and more are included.  You can search for a specific form or browse the subject categories to find what you need.

Where do the forms come from?  According to the About page, "Forms available on Gale LegalForms include forms drafted by attorneys for a particular legal matter, forms from public records and participating companies and attorneys. "Official" forms for many states are also included."

We have created a short video tutorial, similar to those we have made available in the past, below.  Be sure to call the library at 419-447-3751 if you have any questions.
