How to Use Generate Document on Legalise: Step-by-Step Tutorial

Generate Document is the primary drafting feature on Legalise. It produces court-ready document drafts grounded in Pakistani statute law and Islamabad High Court precedent. This tutorial walks through the complete process from selecting a document type to reviewing the generated output.

Step 1: Sign In and Navigate to Generate Document

Generate Document requires a signed-in account with an active subscription or an active free trial. After signing in, navigate to the Generate Document section from the homepage or the main navigation. The page displays the available document types organized by practice area.

Step 2: Select a Document Type

The document type selector shows all available templates on the platform. Categories include property documents (rental agreements, sale deeds, gift deeds), personal documents (powers of attorney), employment and business documents (employment contracts, partnership deeds), and others. Select the document type that matches the instrument being drafted.

If the specific document needed does not appear in the current list, the platform continues to add new document types as the corpus is expanded. The available types reflect the instruments most commonly drafted by Islamabad advocates.

Step 3: Review the Sample Document

Before filling in the intake form, each document type shows a sample card with the standard structure of that document type. Reviewing the sample first gives a clear picture of what the generated output will cover and what level of detail the intake fields are looking for.

Step 4: Complete the Intake Fields

The intake form collects the facts specific to the matter. For a rental agreement, this means the names and addresses of the parties, the property description, the monthly rent, the lease term, and the security deposit amount. For a sale deed, it means the consideration amount, the property description by sector and plot number, and the title reference.

Every field in the intake has a label and, where relevant, a description of what information is expected. Fill each field accurately, as the quality of the generated draft depends directly on the accuracy and completeness of what is entered.

Step 5: Use the Additional Context Field

Some document types include an additional context field below the standard intake fields. This field accepts any legal or factual context about the matter that does not fit into the structured fields: encumbrances on the property, ongoing disputes affecting the title, agreed non-standard conditions, or specific regulatory requirements that apply to the transaction. Providing this context produces a draft that reflects the actual situation of the matter rather than a generic structure.

If the platform determines that required context is missing and the generation cannot proceed safely with the information provided, it will decline the generation with an explanation rather than producing an incomplete or misleading draft.

Step 6: Generate the Draft

Once the intake is complete, submit the form to generate the document. The platform assembles the draft from its corpus of Pakistani statute-sourced clauses and IHC precedent-based language. Generation typically takes a few seconds.

Step 7: Review and Save

The generated draft appears in full text. Read through the complete document carefully before use. Check that all facts entered in the intake have been correctly reflected in the draft, that the document structure is appropriate for the specific transaction, and that the clauses suit the instructions of the matter.

If the draft needs adjustment, the advocate makes those changes in the text before finalizing the document. A generated draft is a starting point for professional review, not a product that goes directly to a client or registrar.

To keep the document in the platform's file history, save it to the Desk from this screen. Unsaved documents are deleted from the platform immediately after generation.

Step 8: Calculate Stamp Duty on the Document

After generating a property document such as a sale deed or rental agreement, navigate to the Stamp Duty Calculator on the same platform to calculate the duty payable before finalizing and presenting the document for registration. Keeping this step in the same session avoids the need to revisit the figures later.
