Questions

Who fills in which part?

Parent or guardian (seat 1) fills in and signs. In the preview, every box is drawn where it will sit on the page.

Can I change the wording?

Yes. Once it is in your workspace it is your own template: open it, edit the text or the fields, and save. The original starter is never changed.

Is this legal advice?

No. It is a starting point written in plain words. Change anything that does not fit your situation before you send it. It makes no promise that it is enough for any place or any purpose.
