- Version 7.57 - THE HOME AND BUSINESS LEGAL GUIDE
- AND FORM GENERATOR MANUAL (December, 1992)
-
- Portions Copyright 1991 Kraft, Byron & Clary
- Copyright 1992 Kraft, Byron & Clary
- All Rights Reserved
-
- THIS PROGRAM IS A SHORTENED VERSION OF THE HOME AND BUSINESS
- LEGAL GUIDE!!! We shortened it to make it a realistic length to
- upload/download. It is not crippled!! Our entire program is over
- 1.0 megs, compressed. The entire program (3 full disks of data)
- is available on line through many BBS systems throughout the
- United States (we personally upload all of it to over 200
- bulletin boards, and thanks to many users this program, both in
- the shortened version and the users of it, many hundreds more
- have the program. The member boards of the Shareware Distribution
- Network have all 3 disks, as well as this version. Virtually
- every shareware distributor carries this program. As a last
- resort if you can't find the full version, we provide the full
- set to users at our cost of duplication/postage.
-
- It is not our intent to withhold features or make you register in
- the dark!
-
- THIS PROGRAM IS DISTRIBUTED AS SHAREWARE.
-
- ABOUT SHAREWARE
-
- (The following is courtesy of Paul Mayer, although we have
- added some comments; we don't claim copyright to Mr. Mayer's
- writings)
-
- Shareware distribution gives users a chance to try software
- before buying it. If you try a Shareware program and continue
- using it, you are expected to register. With registration, you
- get anything from the simple right to continue using the software
- to an updated program with printed manual.
-
- [Our registered user receive the following; the registration fee
- is $ 59.00:
-
- a) complete version of the program with the user's name "branded"
- on the disk;
-
- b) additional forms and information;
-
- c) access to updates and upgrades;
-
- d) support via BBS
-
-
- Page 1
-
-
-
-
-
- e) a printed manual and branded disk together with support and a
- private BBS membership.]
-
- Copyright laws apply to both Shareware and commercial software,
- and the copyright holder retains all rights, with a few specific
- exceptions as stated below. Shareware authors are accomplished
- programmers, just like commercial authors, and the programs are
- of comparable quality. (In both cases, there are good programs
- and bad ones!) The main difference is in the method of
- distribution. The author specifically grants the right to copy
- and distribute the software, either to all and sundry or to a
- specific group. For example, some authors require written
- permission before a commercial disk vendor may copy their
- Shareware.
-
- [Our policy allows persons or user groups to freely distribute
- the shareware, evaluation version, of the program. Commercial
- disk vendors must contact us first.]
-
- Shareware is a distribution method, not a type of software. You
- should find software that suits your needs and pocketbook,
- whether it's commercial or Shareware. The Shareware systems makes
- fitting your needs easier, because you can try before you buy.
- And because the overhead is low, prices are low also. Shareware
- has the ultimate money-back guarantee-- if you don't use the
- product, you don't pay for it.
-
- If you are not a registered user of this program, you may use
- this version of the program for a reasonable time (30 days is
- suggested). If at the end of a reasonable trial you continue to
- use the program, or if you are using the program to prepare
- documents or for advice, and continue to use it, you must
- register. The registration fee is $ 59.00 (see complete details
- in Section 4-4); this entitles you to:
-
- 1. The most current version of the program with full manual
- 2. Any updates to the executable program for one year (subsequent
- years are $ 20); all data updates to for one year
- 3. Access to bbs and special private sections for updates
- 4. Support: During the first 30 days of ownership, we provide up
- to 2 hours of telephone support; support via mail and unlimited
- BBS support through our private bbs; after 30 days you may
- receive unlimited bbs and mail support, and a total of one
- additional hour of telephone support
- 5. A discount of 20% on other programs marketed by us except
- for renewals.
-
- You may register by phone at 1-904-877-7139 or by fax, at
- 904-656-6495. The document generator prepares a form which you
- should use to make your order. Checks and money orders are
- accepted.

-
- INTRODUCTION
-
- A. PLEASE READ ALL FILES WITH EXTENSIONS OF ".TXT" that came with
- your program ME FILE FOR MORE INFORMATION FOR IMPORTANT
- INFORMATION AND ANY LAST MINUTE NEWS AND CHANGES. To print out
- the manual please use the command:
-
- <pguide>
-
-
- SPECIAL NOTE: IN THIS MANUAL ITEMS TO BE ENTERED ON THE COMPUTER
- ARE ENCLOSED IN ANGLED BRACKETS "< >". Follow the entry with the
- ENTER key. Do not type the brackets as they are only placeholders
-
- Page 3
-
-
-
-
-
- for text to be entered by you.
-
- B. ORGANIZATION OF MANUALS-- We provide two separate but
- complimentary manuals. The first is the "quickstart" manual. If
- you are a power user, this very brief manual explains each active
- key and function. The second manual (the one that you are now
- reading) is a detailed manual, consisting of 7 sections:
-
- 1) System Requirements/Installation
- 2) Use of the program
- 3) The information needed to generate legal forms
- 4) Customer Satisfaction- Support
- 5) About our staff
- 6) Legalese-- warranties, trademarks, warnings
- 7) Index
-
- SECTION ONE
- INSTALLATION
-
- Section 1-1
- INSTALLATION
-
- To install the HOME AND BUSINESS LEGAL GUIDE AND FORMS GENERATOR,
- (We'll call it Home Legal for short) first back up your
- installation disks by using the MS DOS command DISKCOPY. For more
- information about DISKCOPY, consult your computer's manual. Place
- the master disks that you received in a safe place and use your
- backup copies.
-
- The full version of the program contains an installation program.
- On this shortened version an install program isn't needed. Just
- unarchive the program to a new subdirectory (we recommend that
- you name it \KBGUIDE).
-
- SYSTEMS REQUIREMENTS
-
- In order to operate this program, your computer must:
-
- 1) have an IBM PC compatible operation a version of M.S. DOS,
- D.R. DOS or P.C. DOS of 3.3 or higher or OS/2, PS/2; this program
- happily runs under Windows environments/Multi tasking
- environments and also runs in "MS DOS EMULATIONS" in Open Desk
- Top and other UNIX systems that can run MS DOS programs.
-
- To find out which version of dos you are using, please enter:
-
- <ver>
-
- and you will receive a cheery message such as
-
- MS-DOS VER 3.30
-
- in general this program will operate on XT compatibles, '286
- compatibles (AT Class) and '386 compatible systems; 486 systems;
-
- Page 4
-
-
-
-
-
-
- 2) have a hard drive (fixed disk);
-
- 3) have at least 448 K Bytes of USABLE memory with the first
- 640KB; many computer users have machines that are installed with
- 512K, 640K or more but install many Terminate and stay
- resident (TSR or "memory resident" programs) which each use
- memory, dropping available for usable memory to less than 448 K;
- if you cannot operate this program dump out of it (the time
- honored process pressing Control, Alternate and Delete at once to
- "warm" reboot) and at a system prompt type, exactly
-
- <chkdsk>
-
- Your machine should whirl and click and then announce something
- like this:
-
- 655360 bytes total memory
- 620000 bytes free
-
- if you have less that 448000 bytes of memory free, then you must
- read the manuals for your memory resident software and delete
- some of them so that you have at least 448000 free when you run
- this program. There are utilities that "manage" terminate and
- stay resident program advertised in your favorite computer
- magazine. If you would like an operating environment that manages
- memory and can make your computer stand on its head allowing
- multitasking among many other great things, check out the great
- products from Quarterdeck.(tm)
-
- IMPORTANT CAVEAT: Many computer users employ file management
- shells like the Norton Commander(tm) or PC TOOLS (versions 6 and
- higher) to help them manage their systems. These programs consume
- memory when used. Often persons also load several Terminate and
- stay resident utilities (T.S.R's) and a file manager. The likely
- result is that you will be often reduced to less than 300k free
- memory. This will S.. L.. O.. W.. down your system and cause
- many programs not to load at all. Running the HOME LEGAL GUIDE
- directly from DOS is simple and recommended!
-
- We get calls now and then about the document generation program
- not loading. In EVERY occasion that this occurs it is because you
- have less than 448K FREE RAM. Really. Honestly. Let's assume that
- you have a computer with 640K RAM. You can still be running with
- less than 448K RAM free by loading numerous drivers, TSR's and
- shells. Please check what your free memory is if you find that
- the document generator will not load and drops you to DOS
- following the instructions above. Please note that your system
- can be configured with many megabytes of ram, but STILL HAVE LESS
- THAN 448K free within the first 640KB! Unless you use memory
- management software, you can have 10 megs of RAM, but have less
- than 448KB free in the first 640KB.
-
- There is no minimum requirement for graphics adapters or color.
-
- Page 5
-
-
-
-
-
- The program will happily run on a text-mono system; and it looks
- very great on a VGA system! Due to our design philosophy the
- program will run on a system with NO color and no graphics
- capability at all.
-
- A printer is recommended so that you can fully use the HOME LEGAL
- GUIDE (You cannot print out legal documents without access to a
- printer.)
-
- SECTION 2
- USE OF THE PROGRAM

- Section 2-18 DRAFTING DOCUMENTS
-
- THE DOCUMENT GENERATOR
-
- We are very proud of our document generation program and hope
- that you will be as well. Through the use of this part of the
- program you will be able to draft custom legal papers that are
- legal and binding in all 50 states. These forms will accomplish
- their objectives of course, if you use a form that isn't right,
- or doesn't completely accomplish your goal, you'll have a legal
- and valid form that accomplishes something other than you
- desired.
-
- READ CAREFULLY
-
- ************************************************************
-
- IT IS ESSENTIAL TO HAVE AN ATTORNEY REVIEW DOCUMENTS THAT YOU
- PREPARE FROM TIME TO TIME; THE DOCUMENTS HEREIN ARE VALID IN THAT
- IF THEY ARE PROPERLY PREPARED THEY WILL BE EFFECTIVE TO CAUSE THE
- INTENDED RESULT. THIS MEANS HOWEVER, THAT A USE OF THE FORMS FOR
- AN INAPPROPRIATE PURPOSE WILL RESULT IN AN INAPPROPRIATE RESULT.
- WE IMPLORE YOU TO SEEK LEGAL COUNSEL IF THE FAILURE OF A LEGAL
- FORM TO ACCOMPLISH THE INTENDED PURPOSE WILL BE FINANCIAL LOSS.
- UNDER THE DISCLAIMERS OF WARRANTIES HEREIN, DAMAGES MAY NOT BE
- RECOVERED FOR THE MONETARY LOSSES AND OTHER DAMAGES, INCLUDING
- CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES SHOULD A FORM NOT MEET YOUR NEEDS. YOU'LL
- STILL SAVE TIME AND MONEY BY USING THE FORMS- JUST HAVE THEM
- REVIEWED. IN ADDITION BE SURE TO GET THE LATEST FORMS BY CHECKING
- IN FOR UPDATES.
-
- ************************************************************
-
- In order to begin using the forms generator, from the main menu,
- please select option "D", prepare legal documents, by either
- entering
-
-
- Page 13
-
-
-
-
-
- <D>
-
-
- and then <Return> or using the cursor keys (up and down arrows)
- to select this option.
-
- NOTE THAT THERE IS MORE THAN ONE SCREEN OF CHOICES, either scroll
- to the end, or use "Page Down" (you may have to do this more than
- once) to see all selections.
-
- The document menu lists the many available choices. Use the up
- and down arrows to highlight the document which you want to
- select.
-
- ************************************************************
- LAWS CHANGE AND THIS MAY FORCE A CHANGE IN FORMS TO MAKE THEM
- COMPLY WITH LEGAL REQUIREMENTS. PLEASE BE SURE TO CHECK FOR
- UPDATES. WHAT YOU HAVE RECEIVED CONTAINS THE FORMS TO THE DATE OF
- SHIPPING AND IS SUPPLEMENTED AND UPDATED REGULARLY.
- ************************************************************
-
- Once "inside" a document you will have the opportunity to enter
- information, and "custom build" your form.
-
- SECTION 2-19 BUILDING DOCUMENTS: SCREENS
-
- You will then see two types of form building screens- a multiple
- choice box and a fill in the blank box.

- First the fill in the blank box:
-
- Enter, exactly as you wish to see it, the information requested.
- Be careful to put it in the format requested- if the fill in the
- blank box asks for the information in numerals, use numerals. If
- it asks for information in numbers, enter numbers. Once you have
- finished filling in the blanks, then hit return. You can "edit" a
- line prior to entering "return" by using the backspace key. If
- you have made a horrible goof and want to start from scratch, use
- the tab forward key to highlight the "cancel" choice on the
- bottom of the dialogue box, and press return. The document will
- then be canceled. You will be returned to the document
- preparation main menu. A second option is to leave the document
- with the error and fix it with the on-line word processor.
-
- On occasions the space which is provided for entry of data is too
- small. In that case, simply enter in the fill in the blank box
- "See exhibit 1 (etc.)" and use a separate sheet to continue. Or
- you can fill in the document and then use the built-in word
- processor to put in the rest of the information.
-
- SECTION 2-21 MULTIPLE CHOICE SCREENS
-
- Page 14
-
-
-
-
-
-
- You will also see multiple choice boxes. Use the up arrow and
- down arrow (cursor keys) to place the "bullet" in the choice that
- you would like, and press <Return>.
-
- SECTION 2-22 NUMERICAL AMOUNTS
-
- When amounts of money need to be input, enter them in the
- following form:
-
- 213.45 or 22000.00
-
- commas and dollar signs are not required and should not be used.
- The program will prompt for numerical amounts and then will
- transliterate them into their numerical equivalents. Thus, if you
- enter 100, the program will show it as $ 100.00 (One hundred
- dollars and xx/100) automatically!
-
- SECTION 2-23 SUGGESTED INPUTS
-
- Many screens contain suggested inputs. For example, the "number
- of days between installments" on the installment promissory note
- has several choices. The final choice "KEY IN VALUE" allows you
- to put whichever choice you desire in the form if the suggestions
- don't fit your needs. To enter your own value, place the bullet
- in the key in value choice and then press ENTER. Then type in
- your choice.
-
- SECTION 2-22 FINISHING DOCUMENTS- NAMING DOCUMENTS
-
- Once you've finished preparing a document, press
-
- <S>
-
- (for save) and then fill in the name of the document. Ms-dos
- limits you to eight characters and an extension on a file, for
- example- "guide.exe." We don't-- your document can be named
- meaningfully using up to 72 characters, including blanks-- Thus,
- a note from Joe to Fred for $ 1.00 done on
-
- 12/1/92 can be named:
-
- Note from Joe to Fred- value $ 1.00 dated 12/1/92
-
- Use a completely descriptive name so you will know exactly what
- the document is.
-
- SECTION 2-23 PRINTING DOCUMENTS
-
- To print out a document, after completing your answers, and
- seeing the document, press <P>, and a dialogue box will ask you
- use the cursor key to say "yes" or "no." Before saying yes be
- sure that the printer is connected to the computer, turned on,
- has ribbons and paper. (Or if it is a laser printer, that it has
-
- Page 15
-
-
-
-
-
- toner and paper!) You may use a printer of your choice from daisy
- wheel, a dot matrix to a laser.
-
- IF YOU ARE USING A LASER PRINTER BE SURE TO CLEAR OUT ANY CODES
- THAT YOU MIGHT HAVE SET FOR GRAPHICS OR LANDSCAPE PRINTING. THE
- PRINT OUTPUT IS ORDINARY "ASCII."
-
- The specific forms and the information required to complete them
- are discussed in section 3.
-
- SECTION 2-24 REVIEWING DOCUMENTS
-
- To print out a document which you previously saved, go to the
- main menu and either use the cursor key or enter the letter
-
- <E>
-
- and then press <Return>. The documents, with titles that you have
- chosen will appear on screen. To see one, highlight that document
- and press <Return.> To print, press
-
- <P>
-
- check that you are ready and then print away. To delete a
- document, first select the document, and press enter so that you
- are viewing that document. To delete hold down the <Alt> key and
- while holding the ALT key down, press <D> (for delete.) This will
- permanently erase a document, and in most cases even an undelete
- program will not save you! Be sure that you intend to do so
- before zapping a document to never-never land!
-
- SECTION 2-25
- EDITING DOCUMENTS
-
- Once you have prepared a document, you may change it with the
- built in text editor.
-
- The text editor contains a complete help screen. Just hit
-
- <F1>
-
- for complete help.
-
-
- NOTE: THE MOUSE IS DISABLED DURING USE OF OUR EDITOR.

- Below, we describe the forms included in this sampler program.
- The full program, of course, contains complete information on all
- of the forms.
-
- SECTION 3-7 BILL OF SALE FOR USED GOODS
-
- This form is used to as a combination receipt and bill of sale.
- It is intended solely for a deal in which a CONSUMER sells
- something that they own to another person. This form was prepared
- because small claims courts are populated with cases in which
- someone who has bought a used boat motor, or whatever, sues the
- seller claiming that the product failed to work, etc. However,
- the law in most states is that there IS NO WARRANTY when a person
- who is not a dealer in that type of goods sells them.
-
- Information needed:
-
- Name of the seller; name of the buyer; description of the goods
- sold- here be sure to call it a "used" whatever;
-
- The form provides the following choices as to the payment of the
- sales price: cash, or part cash and assumption of liens. For
- example, if there is a lien on a stereo you are selling, then the
- sales price is for cash of whatever and the buyer agreeing to pay
- the lien. In this case have the name of the lien holder and the
- amount of the liens handy.
-
- If you are financing a purchase of something don't use this form.
- Instead, use the security agreement form.
-
- SECTION 3-23 GUARANTEE FORMS
-
- A guarantee is an agreement by one party to pay the debt, or to
- take care of the obligations of another party. This is frequently
- used with corporations. Most corporations are very thinly
- capitalized, and thus for obligations of any size, savvy
- creditors demand that the owners guarantee the debt.
-
- Under a law known as the Statute of Frauds, the promise to pay
- the debt of another must be in WRITING TO be valid. REMEMBER
- THIS!!
-
- Therefore, we have a personal guarantee. This document actually
- produces THREE different kinds of guarantees. The first is an
- unconditional, blanket guarantee. This means that the guarantor
- (person agreeing to make good another's obligations) agrees that
- whatever debts and obligations are due from the primary debt, in
-
- Page 21
-
-
-
-
-
- whatever amount will be their responsibility. This is the most
- dangerous kind of guarantee to sign for the guarantor, but the
- most favorable to the creditor.
-
- The second is a guarantee agreement for a specific obligation. In
- other words, in this agreement the guarantor is agreeing to pay
- whatever comes out of one specific deal.
-
- The third is a guarantee that covers all obligations, but, is
- limited to a total specified sum. Thus, the guarantor agrees to
- pay a certain sum, if the balance is that or lower and the
- primary debtor doesn't pay.
-
- The following information is needed to complete the form; of
- course, you must choose which one of the guarantees represents
- your agreement.
-
- The name of the party borrowing, guaranteeing and lending
- The amount, or debt guaranteed (unless unconditional this is an
- unconditional guarantee)
-
- SECTION 3-42 SECURITY AGREEMENT
-
- This form is called many different things by different folks.
- Some refer to it as a "conditional sale" in which the condition
- is you get to keep the property if you pay a debt that you agreed
- to pay to acquire the property. Sometimes it is called a "Chattel
- Mortgage"; in some cases it is known as "Lease." All of these
- instruments are really security agreements. In simple words a
- security agreement is a LIEN on property.
-
- LIMITATIONS: Security agreements are used for tangible assets,
- contract rights and intangibles. They are NOT appropriate for
- securities, cash or real estate. With securities a pledge and
- physical possession of the securities is appropriate. With cash,
- physical possession is required and with real estate mortgages
- are required (trust deeds in some states.) SPECIAL WARNING:
- Unless you have physical possession of the collateral certain
- filings are required to perfect the lien. If you don't file, your
- lien will be invalid against other creditors.
-
- This selection on the menu prepares three different types of
- security agreements. The first is a standard security agreement
- in which a party puts up his property for a loan or for a
- purchase. In this form, the debtor agrees to make good any
- deficiency (that is if the property is repossessed and does not
- bring enough in to pay off the debt, they're on the hook for the
- difference.) There are some further variations: whether the
- security is provided for a single debt or for all debts (this
- latter set is called a cross collateralization clause.)
-
- In addition, this selection on the menu can produce a
- hypothecation. (See on line dictionary for explanation).
-
-
- Page 22
-
-
-
-
-
- The following information is required:
-
- names of each party; a specific explanation of the property
- secured, either general or specific-- thus you can have a lien on
- a specific fork-lift, or on the accounts receivable of a
- business;
-
- if the security agreement secures a specific debt, the date of
- the debt and the original principal amount;
-
- if the security agreement is a hypothecation, then the person for
- whom the debt is secured must be identified, together with that
- debt-- the date of the debt and the original amount;
-
- in all security agreements-- are there other liens on the
- property? (first lien vs. junior lien) and if so, the amount of
- the liens and the identify of the creditor;
-
- will this security agreement secure all other debts between the
- parties?
-
-
- SECTION 3-57 OFFER TO PURCHASE REAL ESTATE
-
- This is a very complicated form. Anyone who has been in the real
- estate business for any period of time will recommend that all
- parties in real estate deals, whatever size, have legal counsel.
- So do we.
-
- The real estate offer form is used by a buyer (and real estate
- agent) to make an offer to an owner. Here we go with the needed
- information:
-
- Seller's name, address; gross purchase price; legal description
- of the property; expiration date of the offer.
-
- Will the purchase price be paid: in cash, with terms;
-
- If mortgages are to be assumed: the amounts and mortgage holders;
-
- If the seller is to grant a new mortgage as part of the purchase
- price: the principal amount, rate of interest and payment terms;
-
- If the buyer will need to obtain a new mortgage, the amounts, the
- term of the mortgage in months, the maximum allowable rate of
- interest on the new mortgage, the maximum number of points to be
- paid by the buyer, the maximum application fee to be paid by the
- buyer;
-
- If there are buildings on the property;
-
- The number of days between acceptance and closing (minimum and
- maximum), number of days to provide title insurance by the owner;
-
-
- Page 23
-
-
-
-
-
- Closing costs to be paid by each party;
-
- if the parties used a realtor, the name of the realtor.
-
- This form conforms to practice in most of the east coast of the
- United States.
-
- REAL ESTATE BROKERAGE EXCLUSIVE LISTING
-
- This form is for the EXCLUSIVE listing of real estate with a
- brokerage.
-
- Information required:
-
- The name of the owner of the property; the broker; the legal
- description of the property; the number of days of the listing;
- the minimum sales price; the financing that the owner will
- provide; the amount of the commission; the right of the broker to
- place a sign on the property
-
- 3-58 LIVING WILL FORMS:
-
- Before preparing these forms, be sure to review that state's
- Living Will Summary from the tutorials menu. If the state isn't
- listed then review the "generic tutorial." NOTE: The failure to
- list a state means that it does not as yet have a living will
- law, and does not indicate an omission.
-

- SECTION 4-3 WORDS ABOUT SHAREWARE
-
- This program is shareware. IT IS NOT FREE SOFTWARE. The Home
- Legal Guide has been authored by a group which has over 20
- programs sold commercially. Our best seller in the commercial
- field, THE PC ATTORNEY (which is similar to this program, but
- just generates documents) is selling multiple thousands per week.
- It's in every major computer chain, and is featured in several
- computer software store's Christmas catalogs. We started as a
- commercial only company, and then went to shareware as an
- additional marketing technique. Basically, shareware is
- commercial software marketed on trust. Just like there is good
- and bad commercial software, there is good and bad shareware. At
- least with shareware, you get a full test drive before you spend.
- Any fee you paid to a disk vendor was for the disks, and the
- catalog, support etc.
-
- Unlike many companies who have withdrawn from shareware when they
- got successful, I (Herb Kraft, Chief Developer) made a public
- statement that we were staying in shareware despite huge success
- in the commercial field. We will keep this promise. This program
- is uncrippled, and on par with our best "commercial" output!
-
- SECTION 4-3
-
- If you register the fee is $ 59.00 U.S. Dollars. There is no
- shipping or handling charge within the US. Outside the U.S.

-
-
- When you register:
-
- we will provide a free subscription to a special areas on our BBS
- system; we will provide reasonable support via phone (no charge
- other than the call); we will provide updates and free upgrades--
- the upgrades and updates are posted on the BBS when done. WE MAIL
- out to those without modems on a semi-annual basis; additional
- years are $ 20.00.
-
- Registered users receive the program and a special key that
- removes the registration reminder screens and "brands" your name
- on screen.
-
- After a reasonable trial, registration is mandatory. We do not
-
- Page 25
-
-
-
-
-
- state a specific number of days or use other arbitrary measures.
- However, if you are preparing forms for your own use and keeping
- them, then you really are using the program and should register.
-
