About this self-service form filler
Does Sun State choose this form for me?
No. You must select the exact document yourself. Sun State does not compare forms, determine eligibility, or recommend a document.
Is the official blank form available without buying the software?
When an issuing authority publishes a blank PDF, Sun State links to that free official source. The charge is for the one-time software service that places your entries into the configured PDF and delivers the completed file.
Does the purchase include filing, service, notarization, or legal review?
No. You remain responsible for reviewing the PDF and for every signing, witness, notarization, service, filing, mailing, fee, deadline, and acceptance requirement.
