Do It Yourself Legals is owned and operated by Jan Downs, who has over 30 years experience in assisting private people to "Do It Yourself".

I realized in the late sixties and early seventies that there was a need for correct and reliable information regarding a number of legal concerns that had not only been financially out of the reach for the community as a whole but who were unable and without the know-how to obtain the necessary information.

After reading and studying several Acts of Parliament it became obvious the need was to translate them into everyday language with simple step by step procedures without having to read pages of unrelated material. And so was born the Do It Yourself Legals concept.

The original kit for conveyancing was distributed free, then $4. The tremendous enthusium and support that followed was boosted by TV and radio coverage not to mention considerable newspaper write-ups to meet public interest and soon afterwards some of the other states produced their own kit.

These days the once virtually hostile environment of Government Departments and Courts to "Do It Yourselfers" when regularly told they were to "see a solicitor" have become friendly helpful places and one feels an instant welcome.

I am not a solicitor nor do I pretend to be and do not give legal advise, but I do explain the procedure in the Kits.

Since 24/06/02 DIY Legals has been located at 25 Dawson Street, Yeerongpilly. Our location is easy to access and provides a relaxed and friendly atmosphere.

Free parking is available in the immediate vicinity.

Easily accessable public transport is available.
