Frequently Asked Questions
Yes, every legal template on Forms Legal is 100% free to download as PDF or Word. No registration, no email required, no paywall. We make money through optional add-on services, never by gating the templates themselves.
Each legal template is structured to follow the relevant statutes and standard market practice in Belgium. Forms Legal templates reference specific laws (e.g. BGB, ZGB, USC, Companies Act) and are reviewed against the editorial guidelines published at /editorial-guidelines. They are intended as starting points; for high-stakes matters we recommend a final review by a licensed attorney in Belgium.
No account is required. Click any template on Forms Legal, fill out the optional wizard fields (or skip them to get a blank template), and download immediately as PDF or Word. The wizard preview is provided for convenience — you can always edit the downloaded file in your own software.
Yes. Every legal template downloads as both PDF and editable Microsoft Word (.docx) format. Open the .docx in Word, Google Docs, LibreOffice or any Word-compatible editor and customize freely. The wizard fields you fill on the page are also pre-populated into the downloaded file.
Both PDF (signature-ready, fixed layout) and Microsoft Word .docx (fully editable). The PDF is best for print or e-signature flows. The Word version is best when you need to add jurisdiction-specific clauses, change party names in bulk, or integrate the template into your firm's standard document set.
Yes. Forms Legal reviews all legal templates against current statutory references and amends them when laws change. Major updates include the German NachwG 2022 reform, EU AI Act 2025 references, US Privacy framework changes, and per-jurisdiction tax-year refreshes. The "Last reviewed" date is shown at the top of each template page.
