You can author your own legal loop-holes. We all live our lives with "good faith" intentions.\n No one wants to spend time in a courtroom.

if it is online..its free. or you can go to the court house itself and look at the file....also free. if its basic info you need you can call the court clerk and they may be able to help you with some stuff. however, if you need copies of the file because its not local or not online you will have to pay. you are not paying for the information itself, but rather the photcopies. the court charges for photocopies just like anywere else. nuthins free.

I would start with the owner or manager of the firm you are dealing with.\nMost firms will be considerate of your financial limitations.\nThey can also explain their charges and the reasons for the cost.\nIt is difficult to give generalizations on what you should expect to pay due to regional differences and the cost of doing business that varies from firm to firm.\nYou could also ask the funeral directors association from your state for help.\nMany associations have a committee to assist the public with complaints.

Yes.  That amount should be within the limits for small claims, which is designed for people to do their own case without a lawyer.  The trick is that you have to know where the tenant is now, because the sheriff has to put the summons and complaint in the tenant's hands.\n\nThe clerk of the court usually has an information sheet for people wanting to file a small claims case.\n\nThe only costs are the filing fee and the process serving fee.  The county sheriff will serve the summons, but they are lazy.  You are better off hiring a "process server"  which is like a private detective.  The process server will usually even pick up your complaint at your house and file the papers in court for you.  They will then serve the papers on the tenant, and return the served summons to court.

From an article I wrote "A Small Business Legal Checklist" http://www.powerhomebiz.com/vol15/asmall.htm :\n\nLegal requirements vary in each country, state, and municipality. \n\nHere is a general checklist of legal matters that you need to be concerned about for your small business. Remember, an ounce of prevention is better than a pound of cure. Know what is important enough to cost you large sums of money if you don't pay attention to it. Depending on your type of business and your state and local requirements you may need to: \n\n1. Employer's Identification Number (EIN). Obtain an employer's ID number with Form SS-4, if you have employees, are a partnership or are incorporated. Sole proprietorships can also obtain and use a TIN instead of the owner's social security number on all business forms that ask for a "taxpayer identification number." If a business is not a corporation this identification or Social Security number will be needed before a bank account can be opened. \n\n2. Obtain a federal license if required by federal law. Employers must obtain licenses, which are renewable every two years, and also keep a log of hours worked and products made so inspectors can judge whether wage laws are being met. \n\n3. Legal form of your business. Incorporate, form a limited liability company, or file a statement of partnership if not a sole proprietorship \n\n4. If needed, obtain seller's permit - also known as Certificate of Authority or Resale Certificate. Get a resale tax certification or state sellers permit if the operation will involve purchasing items for resale. This exempts the business from paying sales tax on some of its purchases. \n\n5. Obtain any trademarks, copyrights, and patents as needed. Trademarks are words, names, illustrations, or a combination of these used to identify products or services to distinguish them from items of other firms. Check with the Trademark Register of the United States to avoid using trademarks already used. Copyrights, on the other hand, protect artistic creations, literary writings, graphic illustrations, musical scores, computer programs, and published materials such as newsletters. A patent provides a seventeen-year exclusive right to make, use and sell an invention in the United States. \n\n6. Obtain any required state licenses. Some special licenses are issued to a business that will provide products or services requiring special regulation. Special licenses are issued to professionals, such as doctors, lawyers, barbers and others who have met a certain level of training or education, or who engage in an occupation the government considers risky for some reason. \n\n7. Obtain occupational or health permits if required for your type of business.\n\n8. Acquire zoning approval, if necessary. Zoning ordinances regulate how property can be used. These ordinances are tools of both state and local governments to regulate the safety, structure and appearance of the community. If you are operating a home business, make sure that the zoning rules in your area allow the operation of your kind of business. \n\n9. Obtain a local business license. Many municipalities or states require a permit to conduct business. The fee is usually based on gross sales, but volume from most part-time ventures falls below the minimum tax level, so, at least initially, it won't be costly. \n\n10. Register your business name if using a name other than your own or a variation of your name. Check with the county clerk locally, and the secretary of state nationwide to determine if a certain name is legally clear.\n\nHere are some books you may want to check with regards to the legal documents of a small business:\n\n- Choosing a Legal Structure for Your Business (Run Your Own Business) http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/0136033660/powerhomebizguid\n- 155 Legal Do's (and Don'ts) for the Small Business http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/047113161X/powerh

I think the word you are looking for is "living will".  \nI found a site that says they will do it online for about 40 dollars but I would imagine if you just contacted your town clerks office they could advise you where you could get it done for little or nothing.
