Welcome! I’m Mary L. Shaffer, a registered and bonded Legal Document Assistant (LDA) based in Chico, California, offering reliable and affordable legal document preparation services throughout all 58 California counties. Whether you're located in California or out of state, I can assist you in preparing legal documents for California-based matters, including court filings and property transfers. All documents are prepared at your direction and meet the specific requirements of California courts and county recorder’s offices.
I specialize in helping customers with estate planning documents, family law forms, real estate transfers, and more—without the high cost of hiring an attorney. Whether you need to transfer property into or out of a trust, prepare divorce paperwork, or complete a power of attorney, I’ll make the process simple, accurate, and compliant with California requirements.
As a California LDA (Butte County LDA #26) and commissioned Notary Public, I’m here to provide professional, self-help legal document assistance at your direction.
Looking for a Paralegal?
Many people search for a “paralegal” when they need help preparing legal documents. In California, only attorneys may employ paralegals, and Legal Document Assistants (LDAs) are the authorized professionals who can assist the public directly—without giving legal advice or working for a law firm.
As a registered and bonded Legal Document Assistant (Butte County LDA #26) and Notary Public, I provide self-help legal document preparation services at your direction, in full compliance with California law.
