However, providing a particular form based on a specific set of facts and goals provided by that person could indeed constitute UPL. My guess is that LegalZoom crosses that line at least some of the time. I do think there is a market for lawyers who bundle legal advice with an online document assembly service. That is something we are looking at with regard to our estate planning practice. Chris Watkins Simply giving someone a legal form (or filling it out) is probably not the unauthorized practice of law.

Make Bella be turned into a vampire when Edward leaves in New Moon or even have the stories as All Humans. Meaning, eveyone is human and not vampires.
