Draft it here, in the place it is for.
Answer the questions and the document is composed for the jurisdiction you chose: the governing-law wording, the execution conventions, and whether the paper owes stamp duty where you are. 11 documents, 15 jurisdictions: pick them here, and continue in Rutba Sign.
General information, not legal advice. Rutba is not a law firm.
The wizard
Two choices here, the questions in the app
Where the document is for, which document it is, and a first look at the questions that make it. The rest (every question, the composed draft, the parties with their signature blocks, and sending) is in Rutba Sign, one sign-in away for an organization that uses it. Every option is offered; none is chosen for you.
Step 1 of 3
It decides the list. A document is drafted against a place’s own conventions (how the governing-law clause is phrased, whether instruments there attract stamp duty, what is normally witnessed), so one that has not been written for a place is not offered there.
15 places are written for. A document that has not been written for one is not offered there.
What this is, and is not
A starting point you drive
Being precise about this matters more here than anywhere else on the site.
You answer; the document composes
Nothing here selects a term for you. Where a choice matters (who owns what is produced, whether liability is capped, how long confidentiality lasts), Rutba Sign asks and offers the options in plain words, with nothing preselected. What the document does not cover is yours to add.
Written for a place, or not offered
A document written for one jurisdiction and used in another is a document with the wrong governing law, the wrong execution block and, in several places, an unpaid stamp duty that makes it inadmissible. So a document that has not been written for a jurisdiction is not offered there, rather than offered with a caveat.
That is why the library covers fifteen places while the formalities guide names nineteen: the four civil-law regimes it leaves out (Germany, France, Spain and Italy) draft and execute differently enough (notarial deeds, language requirements) that a common-law document with the country name changed would be worse than nothing.
Refused means paper, not pretence
Where the kind of document cannot be executed electronically in the place it is for (a deed under English law, for one), Rutba Sign still drafts it, and then tells you to print it and sign it in front of the people the law wants in the room. It never quietly produces an envelope instead.
Nothing typed on this page is sent or stored
This site has no account, no session and no connection to the signing engine; nothing you type on the first screen (names, addresses, the terms you choose) is transmitted or kept. The document is composed in Rutba Sign, in your account, which asks its questions afresh; sending it for signature, with the parties, the evidence and the seal, happens there too.
Two things do travel, because they are in the address bar: which place you chose and which document. They are there so the picker works without JavaScript, so you can bookmark or share where you are, and so Rutba Sign opens on the same document for the same place. Nothing you answer ever joins them.
What is not here yet Wills are the document people most often ask about and the one this wizard deliberately does not offer. A badly composed contract is a commercial argument; a badly composed will is discovered when its author cannot be asked what they meant. They come last, print-only, and only in jurisdictions a lawyer has read the pack for: the same posture the rest of this product takes when it does not know something. Until then, the guide on wills says what one needs to be valid.
