FAQ
Every question,
the honest answer.
The questions we hear most, answered plainly. If yours isn't here, email hello@legalpath.ca and we'll add it.
Is this actually legal?
Can I use LegalPath forms for real legal paperwork?
Yes. LegalPath forms are designed around the provincial and federal requirements that apply to each document. We provide self-help legal information and signed-ready PDFs, not legal advice or court filing services.
Are you a law firm?
No. LegalPath is not a law firm and does not provide legal advice. We provide legal information and self-help forms. For complex or contested matters, you should consult a qualified lawyer in your province.
Do I need a lawyer to sign these forms?
Many straightforward forms can be prepared without hiring a lawyer. Complex matters like contested divorces, large estates, custody disputes, and business mergers should be reviewed by a qualified lawyer in your province.
What if I make a mistake on a form?
You can revise any in-progress form before downloading. If you find an error after downloading, you can re-generate the PDF for free for 90 days. Subscribers can re-generate forever.
How LegalPath compares
How is this different from LegalZoom?
LegalZoom is American. We are 100% Canadian, by Canadian founders, built around Canadian law in Canadian provinces, including bilingual Québec forms. We are also dramatically cheaper, with no hidden upsells.
How is this different from a free template I found online?
Free templates are usually outdated, US-based, or generic. LegalPath forms are tied to current provincial legislation, refreshed when laws change, and walked through with a wizard so you don't miss critical clauses.
How is this different from hiring a paralegal?
LegalPath helps with self-serve document preparation at a lower cost. For matters that need licensed legal advice or representation, we recommend using your provincial law society referral service.
What we cover
Which provinces are live?
All provinces and territories are live, including Alberta, British Columbia, Saskatchewan, Manitoba, Ontario, Québec (en français), Nova Scotia, New Brunswick, Newfoundland & Labrador, Prince Edward Island, Yukon, Northwest Territories, and Nunavut, plus federal forms (Canadian incorporation, name changes for federal employees, federal Divorce Act forms, etc.).

Are forms available in French?
Québec forms are fully bilingual. We are working on full French translations for Ontario and federal forms, expected end of 2026.
Do you handle court filings?
No. LegalPath produces signed-ready PDFs. You file them yourself with the appropriate court or registry. Every form includes a Filing Instructions page with the exact court name, fee, and method for your province.

Can LegalPath staff see my forms?
Access is restricted to your account and authorized operational support. LegalPath does not provide legal advice, and any future review service will be handled through a clearly disclosed workflow.
How long do you keep my data?
In-progress drafts: as long as you have an account. Completed forms: 7 years (Canadian record-keeping standard) or until you delete them.
AI assistant
What does the AI assistant do?
It explains legal terms in plain English, walks you through tricky questions, and points you to the relevant legislation section. It does not give legal advice. It gives legal information.
Can I trust the AI?
For information lookup, yes. For decision-making on complex matters (custody, estate planning over $500K, contested divorce), the AI will tell you to consult a lawyer. We are conservative on purpose.
How many AI questions do I get?
AI assistant access is included with paid forms and unlimited for subscribers.
Still have questions?
Real humans, Canadian time zones. Average reply: 3 hours.
