Person

A Person is a special entity within AllDrafts

A Person is a type of Entity (a complex data type in AllDrafts) that encapsulates all of the information about a person that might be used to fill in fields in a contract or document template.

Name

Enter the full name of the person as they'd be addressed by mail; you can include titles and suffixes. AllDrafts automatically parses most names and can render (and find them) in variant forms. E.g. Dr. John Q. Public, Jr. will automatically be matched against instances of "Dr. Public", "John Q. Public", "Public, John Q.", etc.

Pronouns

When you enter a name, AllDrafts will attempt to guess the pronouns to use with it, based on traditional patterns and statistics in the United States. (In simple terms, if 85% of people born with that name in the United States were recorded as male or female, traditional he/she pronouns will be guessed.) For names like 'Kim', which are commonly used for two genders, 'they' will be chosen by default.

You can override the default pronouns by typing one or more pronouns, in the order subjective, objective, possessive, and reflexive pronoun, separated by slashes. If you type just one or two (e.g. he/him), the others will be automatically filled-in from common patterns or formulations.

Address

The Address field with auto-complete for any mailing address in the United States.

Role / Descriptor

This is the language you'd like to use when this person is a party described in a contract, e.g. "an individual residing in Washington state".

County of Residence

This field is most often used in a notarization form, or for choosing which county courts to use in a Venue clause. This county should be in the State or Province of Residence.

State or Province of Residence

This defaults to the state in the Address line, but can be set to a different state if someone has a mailing address that differs from their state of residence. Since this is also used for notarization forms, it should be the state containing the specified County of Residence.

Phone / Email

Standard contact fields that may be used in populating Notice-to fields, or as the default email for sending a document for e-signature by this person.
