Docracy - Free (community curated) Legal Documents
Fantastic idea, but as a lawyer, it makes me a bit nervous for those who would rely solely on the documents available.Even if those documents are flawless and cover exactly what someone needs (incredibly unlikely), in many areas the documents themselves aren't necessarily the problem: it's knowing what documents, in combination, you need.For example, if I want to make a real estate secured loan to someone, what do I need?  If you're fairly sophisticated, you might say a Note and a Deed of Trust.  Great, but what if that someone is a business or a single asset entity?  Should you make the loan?  Should you get a guaranty from the principals?  Would that guaranty even be enforceable?  In many cases, just having access to the documents really isn't enough.  There's a reason attorneys are the only profession that get paid to research the very subject they're supposed to be experts in.  This stuff is complicated.I like the idea though, and if you could fill some of those knowledge gaps, this could be really valuable.
