Every form opens with a Key Terms table: every blank, every choice, in one place. Yellow fields are what you fill in. The instruction sheet explains each one in the order it appears.



Every U.S. download holds 51 editions, one per state plus DC, each with its statute, filing office and document names typed in and the clauses that state treats differently adjusted: non-compete rules, trade-secret acts, community property, publication, usury, dissolution filings.
Every blank and every choice sits on the first pages. Fill in the table, and the rest of the document is already written. No hunting through thirty pages for a bracket.
Both versions in every download, drafted in parallel. Sign either one, or both. Nothing else on the market does this.
Local terminology and filing offices, Hacienda withholding and IVU, community property and forced heirship. Generic mainland templates cite rules that do not apply in Puerto Rico.
Word files, delivered instantly through our store.
Every field, every choice, and when the form is not enough.
Delete the cover page, print or e-sign, keep the signed copy.
Plain-language explanations written from the instruction sheets. Each guide links to its form.
A .zip with the form and its Instruction Sheet in English and in Spanish, as editable Word files (US Letter). Bundles contain several forms.
The free templates are four-page skeletons. Ours open with a Key Terms table that holds every blank in one place, come with a field-by-field Instruction Sheet, explain the tax-classification choice, and cover what the free ones skip: death or incapacity of an owner, transfers, manager-managed structures, capital accounts, and 51 state editions, each completed for its state. And every file comes in English and Spanish.
Yes. Every U.S. download contains 51 editions of the form, one per state plus DC, each already completed with that state's statute, filing office and document names and with the clauses that state treats differently adjusted (non-compete and trade-secret rules, community property, publication, usury, dissolution filings). Open your state's folder; the Instruction Sheet's "Your state" section lists what was pre-filled.
Yes. They are drafted for Puerto Rico from a blank page — local terminology and filing offices, Hacienda withholding and IVU, community property and forced heirship. Generic U.S. templates cite rules that do not apply in Puerto Rico.
No. Keystone Legal Forms is a publisher, not a law firm nor a legal services provider. The forms are sold for self-completion. Each Instruction Sheet has a section "When this form is not enough" that tells you plainly when to consult an attorney.
