Welcome to Captain.legal

You draft your own legal documents, ready to use under US law, without hiring a lawyer for routine paperwork. A residential lease that follows your state's landlord-tenant rules, an at-will employment agreement, an LLC operating agreement, articles of incorporation, a non-disclosure agreement, a demand letter, a promissory note: you answer a few questions, the document fills in as you go, and you download it in Word and PDF, ready to sign. Each template tracks the relevant federal and state law and is updated whenever the rules change, so you never have to read the statutes yourself.

Business & Incorporation

Browse all business documents

Form your company and run it on solid ground. Whether you're incorporating from scratch with Articles of Incorporation and a set of corporate bylaws, splitting equity through a co-founder agreement, or formalizing ownership with an LLC operating agreement or a shareholder agreement, every template is drafted for US law. And when it's time to win clients, a clear service agreement (MSA) keeps the commercial relationship watertight from day one.

Real Estate & Leases

Browse all real estate documents

Rent, sell or manage property with airtight paperwork. Landlords can put a tenant in place with a month-to-month rental agreement and screen candidates using a rental application form, while businesses lock in space with a commercial lease agreement. And when a property changes hands, a real estate purchase agreement paired with a seller's disclosure statement keeps the transaction clean and compliant across all 50 states.

Employment & HR

Browse all employment documents

Hire and manage your team the right way. Bring people on board with an at-will employment agreement or engage specialists through an independent contractor agreement, then set expectations company-wide with an employee handbook. Protect the business with a non-compete & non-solicitation agreement, and part ways cleanly when you have to with a severance agreement & release — each one compliant in every state.

Personal & Family

Browse all personal documents

Protect what matters most. Put your wishes in writing with a last will and testament, name someone you trust through a power of attorney, and set out your medical choices in a living will & advance directive. Couples can safeguard their assets before marriage with a prenuptial agreement, and even your pets are covered with a pet custody agreement — all valid across the 50 states.

Nonprofits & 501(c)(3)

Browse all nonprofit documents

Start and govern a nonprofit with confidence. Get incorporated with nonprofit articles of incorporation and adopt bylaws your board can rely on, then make your case to the IRS with a Form 1023 narrative of activities. Partner with an established charity through a fiscal sponsorship agreement, and if the mission ever winds down, do it properly with a nonprofit dissolution plan.
