Legal Disclaimer | Made For Law

1. Not Legal Advice

Made For Law LLC, a trade name of Good Smart Idea LLC (“Made For Law,” “we,” “us,” or “our”) provides legal information, not legal advice. The content on this website, including all calculators, tools, estimates, articles, guides, and other materials (collectively, “Content”), is provided for general educational and informational purposes only.

The Content does not constitute legal advice, financial advice, tax advice, or professional advice of any kind. No attorney-client relationship is created by your use of this website or any of its tools.

2. We Are Not a Law Firm

Made For Law is a technology company. We are not a law firm, we do not provide legal services, and we are not licensed to practice law in any jurisdiction. Our team includes legal researchers and data analysts, not practicing attorneys providing legal counsel.

We are not affiliated with, endorsed by, or acting on behalf of any law firm, bar association, court system, or government entity.

3. Limitations of Our Tools

Our calculators and tools provide estimates based on:

Publicly available statutory data from state legislatures and court systems
Published fee schedules, tax rates, and regulatory thresholds
General legal principles applicable in each jurisdiction

These estimates are subject to important limitations:

Laws change. Legislatures amend statutes, courts issue new rulings, and administrative agencies update fee schedules. While we strive to keep data current, there may be delays between legal changes and updates to our tools.
Courts have discretion. Many legal fees, timelines, and outcomes are subject to judicial discretion and may differ significantly from statutory guidelines.
Every situation is unique. Our tools cannot account for the specific facts and circumstances of your situation, local court practices, or case-specific factors that may materially affect outcomes.
County and local variations. Filing fees, court procedures, and local rules may vary between counties within the same state. Our state-level data may not reflect all local variations.
No assurance of accuracy. Despite our best efforts, errors in our data are possible. We encourage users to verify all information against primary sources.

4. Consult a Licensed Attorney

For any legal matter, you should consult with a licensed attorney in your jurisdiction who can evaluate your specific facts and circumstances. This includes but is not limited to:

Estate planning and probate administration
Divorce, custody, and family law matters
Guardianship and conservatorship proceedings
Personal injury and statute of limitations questions
Real property and homestead exemption claims
Tax planning and estate tax obligations
Power of attorney and advance directive preparation

Do not delay seeking professional legal advice because of something you read on this website or calculated using our tools.

5. No Warranty

THE CONTENT IS PROVIDED “AS IS” AND “AS AVAILABLE” WITHOUT WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, EITHER EXPRESS OR IMPLIED. TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, MADE FOR LAW DISCLAIMS ALL WARRANTIES, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, ACCURACY, COMPLETENESS, TIMELINESS, AND NON-INFRINGEMENT.

We do not warrant that the Content is accurate, complete, current, reliable, or error-free, or that the website will be available without interruption.

6. Limitation of Liability

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, MADE FOR LAW LLC, ITS OFFICERS, DIRECTORS, EMPLOYEES, AGENTS, AND AFFILIATES SHALL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY DIRECT, INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO YOUR USE OF OR INABILITY TO USE THE WEBSITE, TOOLS, OR CONTENT, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO:

Losses arising from reliance on any calculation, estimate, or information provided
Missed deadlines, including statutes of limitations, filing deadlines, or court dates
Incorrect fee estimates, tax calculations, or exemption amounts
Decisions made based on information that was accurate at the time of publication but subsequently changed due to legislative or judicial action
Any damages resulting from the use of our tools in connection with actual legal proceedings

This limitation applies regardless of the legal theory (contract, tort, strict liability, or otherwise) and even if Made For Law has been advised of the possibility of such damages.

7. Third-Party Links and Embeds

Our website contains links to third-party websites, including state court systems, bar associations, and legislative databases. These links are provided for convenience and reference only. We do not control, endorse, or assume responsibility for the content, accuracy, or practices of any third-party website.

Law firms may embed our calculators on their websites. When you use an embedded calculator on a third-party site, the hosting law firm's privacy policy and terms of service govern any information you submit through lead capture forms. Made For Law is not responsible for how third-party firms use information collected through embedded tools.

8. AI-Assisted Content

Portions of our content, including articles, calculator descriptions, and educational materials, may be researched, drafted, or assisted by artificial intelligence tools. All AI-assisted content is reviewed, edited, and fact-checked by our human editorial team against primary legal sources before publication.

Our editorial team maintains oversight of all published content regardless of how it was initially drafted. We use AI as a research and drafting tool — not as a substitute for human editorial judgment, source verification, or quality control. The same accuracy standards apply to all content whether AI-assisted or not.

For details on our editorial process, see our Editorial Standards.

9. Indemnification

You agree to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless Made For Law LLC and its officers, directors, employees, and agents from and against any claims, liabilities, damages, judgments, awards, losses, costs, expenses, or fees (including reasonable attorneys' fees) arising out of or relating to your use of the website or Content, your violation of these terms, or your violation of any rights of a third party.
