Legal documents are documents that are legally binding and enforceable by law. DEEDS, writs, wills, and contracts are all examples of legal documents. DEEDS are documents that transfer ownership of property from one person to another. Writs are court orders that require a person to do something or refrain from doing something. Wills are documents that specify how a person's assets should be distributed after their death. Contracts are agreements between two or more parties that create an obligation to do or not do something.
