Public Library Offers Free Ohio Legal Forms

Free Ohio legal forms are available from the Public Library of Cincinnati and Hamilton County through their remote access database services. This new resource includes forms from Thomson-Gale, the company behind Infotrac Onefile, another PLCHC database resource.

The resource is organized by category, ranging from deed forms to powers of attorney (general, health and child care) and even a pet law handbook! The forms are from the US Legal Forms company, an online forms database for all 50 states.

You can access the online site with your PLCHC library card (the RED card!), using the borrower number on the back and your PIN (the last 4 digits of your phone number unless you've changed it). If you use the forms and are not a lawyer, be sure to read the disclaimer that "[a]ll forms in this database are provided without any warranty, express or implied, as to their legal effect and completeness. Forms should be used as a guide and modified to meet the laws in your state. Please use at your own risk." You might still want to consult a lawyer for assistance.
