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 provincial and federal law. Quebec is coming soon after additional compliance, French-language, and Civil Code review work.
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Free templates are usually outdated, US-based, or generic.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

Pricing & billing
Is there a free version?
Yes, in the way that counts. Creating an account, browsing every form, and filling one out is completely free. You only pay at the very end, when you download the finished PDF. There is no charge to look around and see exactly what you are getting first.
How much does it cost?
Per-form: $19 (simple forms like demand letters) to $299 (incorporation packages). Bundles: from $73.95. Subscriptions: $19.99/month or $99/year.
Can I cancel anytime?
Yes. Pro Monthly cancels at end of period. Pro Annual refund eligibility depends on usage and downloads. See the refund policy for the full terms.
What payment methods do you accept?
We accept major credit cards, debit cards, Apple Pay, and Google Pay through Stripe.
Are there discounts?
Students (with proof of enrollment or a student email), seniors (65+), and Canadian non-profits get 30% off. Email hello@legalpath.ca with verification.
Privacy & security
Where is my data stored?
Primary customer records are stored on Supabase ca-central-1 in Montreal. Some providers, including AI, payment, hosting, analytics, and email services, may process limited data outside Canada as needed to operate LegalPath.
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 stay while your account is active. Completed forms and PDFs stay while your account is active, and are deleted within 30 days if you delete them or close your account unless we are legally required to retain a related business record.
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. Replies within 1 business day, usually much faster.
