Any form, any country

Upload the form your firm already uses. Clearhour builds the questionnaire.

Drag in a PDF. Clearhour reads it, proposes a question for every field, and shows you the form and the questions side by side. You approve, you send one link, and the answers come back filled on your form, prepared for your review.

Not limited to the documents we have pre-built

Clearhour ships ready-made questionnaires for a growing shelf of prescribed forms, from the New Zealand enduring power of attorney to the England and Wales LP1F. The upload lane is for everything else: the affidavit your registry insists on, the bank's own account authority, the trust deed schedule your firm drafted in 2014 and still uses. If a client has to fill it in, it belongs here.

How the upload lane works

1

Drop in the PDF

In Settings, drag your form onto the page. Clearhour reads the printed layout, usually in a minute or two, and tells you honestly while it is reading and if a read fails.

2

Review the mapping

The form sits on the left, the proposed questions on the right. Click a box and its question lights up. Confirm each one, switch off a question your firm answers itself, or draw a box around anything that was missed.

3

Send, then review the fill

Your client answers at home from one link. Their answers come back to your firm and land on your form. Every value is checked against the box it was mapped to before the document is produced.

Filled inside the box, or refused with a named list

An uploaded form has no fillable fields, so every value is placed by position. Clearhour verifies that each rendered value sits inside the box it was mapped to, that a Yes on an authority question renders as an initial mark and never as the word Yes, and that a signature box is left blank for the signing. If any value would not fit, the document is not produced and you get a plain list of the fields that need a look. A misplaced fill never reaches your review pile unannounced.

Your form, your firm only

An uploaded form is stored for your firm and shared with the seats you choose. Client answers never rest anywhere readable: they travel to your firm as an encrypted file that Clearhour cannot open, and are deleted on delivery. The same rules as every ready-made document on the platform.

Common questions

Which forms can I upload?

Any PDF form your firm uses: a prescribed statutory form, a court form, a bank or insurer form, or a document your firm drafted itself. If it has fields a client fills in, Clearhour can build a questionnaire around it.

What if the form has no fillable fields?

That is the normal case. Clearhour reads the printed layout of the page, proposes where each answer belongs, and shows you the form and the questions side by side. You confirm each one before the questionnaire is sent to anyone.

What happens if an answer does not fit its box?

Clearhour refuses to produce the document and names the field, page and box instead of printing a misplaced or overflowing value. You will never receive a page where a value has drifted into the wrong box without being told.

Does Clearhour keep my form?

Your form is stored for your firm only, so seats you invite can use it. Client answers are different: they travel to your firm as an encrypted file that Clearhour cannot open, and are deleted on delivery.

Which countries does this work in?

Any. The upload lane does not depend on a shelf for your jurisdiction. Firms in New Zealand, Australia, the United Kingdom, the United States and Singapore are on the platform today, and a firm anywhere else can upload its own forms from the first day.
