Prince Frederick, MD – February 3, 2011– Recorded Books, LLC, the world’s largest independent producer of audiobooks and a Haights Cross Communications company, has announced it will begin distribution of the popular LawDepot legal form service to public libraries in the United States and Canada. With over 10 years of experience, LawDepot has drafted over one million contracts and has helped its clients save half a billion dollars in legal fees.

“Public libraries play an important role in their communities by providing free access to important and valuable services to their patrons.” said Scott Williams, President and CEO of Recorded Books. “Many Americans do not have such important documents as a last will and testament or medical power of attorney because of the cost and difficulty in obtaining them. The LawDepot service will allow patrons to easily prepare these and other important documents, at no cost, from their local library.”

LawDepot provides a quick and easy way to create customizable legal documents. By following a simple step-by-step process, library patrons will be able to create hundreds of state-specific legal forms. After a document has been completed, users will have the option to print, download, or save their form to LawDepot’s secure archive. All LawDepot documents have been developed by an experienced team of in-house lawyers and are regularly updated to ensure accuracy.

Recorded Books anticipates beta testing of the service will begin in early February with full service being available to public libraries by the middle of March 2011.
