Generally speaking, he or she assists the legal professional in carrying out his or her tasks: filing and archiving documentation, drafting correspondence for files, handling mail related to the cases handled, communicating various information to different departments, etc. For private individuals, the legal assistant provides various advice concerning their case and can help them in the preparation of their legal documents before putting them in touch with the appropriate legal professional for their case.

In France, the cost of a legal service will depend on the type of service required. In the case of the preparation of legal documents, it will cost between €120 and €400 depending on the nature of the documents to be processed. For example, a will can be drawn up by a legal assistant before being initialled by a notary - this is one of the documents requiring a broad knowledge of the articles of law, especially those relating to succession. For the drafting of an authentic will, it is necessary to charge €115.39 excluding VAT and this is done before the notary in the presence of witnesses. However, a legal assistant can be used to help us draw up the private will; in this case, it is called a holographic will with a cost of approximately 60 € excluding VAT to which it will be necessary to add the opening and description costs, and the costs of custody before death: 53.84 € excluding VAT.
