The Law Wizard – from Great Britain
03
Feb
I discovered an interesting web site called The Law Wizard, still in beta, for pro se parties doing their own probate, in the United Kingdom. The site promises to offer a unique package of online interactive tools, guides and videos. The Probate Wizard is initially designed for individuals who want to probate their own estates, but the site states that the tools will be made available for law firms as well.
The site is scheduled for launch later n 2011. The site looks interesting because it combines a web-enabled document automation system with extensive video and other information guides that takes the user through a complicated process step by step. We will see more web sites like this, both in the legal form market space and the virtual law firm space.
