HotDocs

Hotdocs is among the decent tool which is used to generate the documents which are used frequently by various department in my organization like legal, human resource and marketing. It indeed saves lots of time and money making the work easier and more accurate. It is very much suitable for the company like us as there are hundreds of documents which we need again and again.

Hotdocs is a document creation tool that may be used either alone or in conjunction with another information source. It is a question-based system that is highly powerful for writing papers in the right format and with all of the relevant information included. User's might switch from earlier Wordperfect templates to this new version.

I have used HotDocs to automate document assembly in an estate planning practice. It is designed to streamline the drafting of customizable estate planning documents.

We are utilizing HotDocs to help us with transactional drafting. While facilitating government-insured construction loans, there are often 30-40 documents that need to be drafted, much with the same information. We created templates of each of these documents as well as a master questionnaire. After completing the questionnaire, all necessary documents will be drafted in a matter of minutes. While setting up the templates took a decent bit of time, training, and learning, they save us six to seven hours of document drafting every day, allowing us to greatly increase our workload.

Hot Docs is the engine. We use it for real estate forms. It makes it easy to generate a group [form] based on the same transaction.

Our Firm letterhead and proprietary standard forms are in HotDocs and used across the Firm at all locations. This allows us to produce letters by location quickly as well as produce standard documents by practice area consistently. We also purchase standard forms from the State of Iowa which are also held in HotDocs. These forms provide consistency as well as a quick start to drafting documents and letters.

HotDocs is used by most of the paralegals in the organization to draft estate planning documents for our clients. It allows users to complete an "interview" and then download draft estate planning documents based on the interview. They then edit the documents in Microsoft Word and then present them to the clients.

HotDocs is used as a document generation application, either stand-alone or with another information source. It is question-based and extremely powerful for creating documents in the proper format and with all necessary information.

We are a managed services company that installs, configure and supports HotDocs for our clients. HotDocs is a document automation program that is used to generate similar documents/forms with minimal effort (once the system is set up on the backend). HotDocs, though a little complex on the backend, is extremely easy to use on the front end. It also integrates with many other software platforms, which is great.
