Do It Yourself Legal Documents

Recently, I loaned someone a small amount of cash. I didn't even think to hesitate about loaning them money because we'd known each other for years. Once I handed over the cash, I started to think about creating a promissory note. Although this person was dependable and I knew they would pay me back, it's still a good idea to have one.
