Where do I start?

Start by tapping on "Pilot Data" and filling out information regarding the pilot, which will include a Name, Phone Number, Insurance Policy Number, and E-mail. You can also take a picture of the Pilot, or select one from your camera roll. 

Once that is complete tap on "Save and Sign", this will allow the Pilot to sign their name. Finally tap "Accept and Save", this will save everything you have entered so far. You have now completed the first of of five sections to create a new release. Make your way down to the other four sections and fill out all the information you wish to provide regarding Location, Property Owner, and Witness. 

What information is required in order to create a release?

Pilot Name, Pilot Signature, Address, Property Owner Name, and Property Owner Signature are all required in order to create a release.

If you attempt to make a release and one of these fields is not filled in, you will get an alert prompting you to fill in the missing information.

What if my description, or addendum goes over the word limit?

Text will continue to allow entry for editing but, if printed, will run down off  the page and through the footer.

Why do you only allow  characters in the addendum?

Legal Flyer is designed for fast and easy property releases. If additional space is required for addendum, we suggest you include in the addendum field a note indicating additional pages.

For simplicity in the field if your property releases are elaborate we suggest you create these documents ahead of time.

Why is there no way to enter payment information on this release?

There are many forms of payment. Too many, in fact, for any streamlined document creation process. While payments are defined and addressed within the agreement itself, the agreement itself only states that adequate compensation has or will be received. The compensation itself is between you, and your property holder. If your payments are simple, simply add them to your addendums, if they are elaborate use the addendum space to make reference to additional documentation.
