Preparation only — not a document to sign. This tool organizes proposed facts, terms, and questions. It does not create legal authority or a binding instrument.

Before you begin

  • Put events in dated order
  • Separate firsthand knowledge from information others supplied
  • Ask the receiving authority about the required form, oath, and execution process before signing.
