Explanation:

Step1: Identify the accounts involved

Legal fees are an expense, and when paid, cash (or another asset account if not paid in cash) is reduced.

Step2: Determine debit - credit rules

Expenses are debited when they increase. So, the Legal Fees Expense account is debited. Assets are credited when they decrease. If paid in cash, the Cash account is credited.

Answer:

Date	General Journal	Debit	Credit
May 12	Cash		[Amount]

(Replace [Amount] with the actual amount of legal fees paid)
