If material is not protected by copyright, the creator has no rights to it.

Yes; works of sufficient originality are automatically protected by copyright as soon as they are fixed, and notification is not required.
When the document is in the public domain, or you are the rightsholder, or you have permission from the rightsholder or an exemption in the law.

No there is not, however, when on a word document (or other) there should be a 'SYMBOL' key. click on that and it should be in there.
Generally not. Since most legal documents are a simple recitation of facts they fail to qualify for copyright protection because they lack sufficient originality of expression.
No... Copyright is a document and recognition stating that a certain device or method of doing something was originally created by you. It prevents others from stealing your idea and "copying" it. A copyright isn't a person. You can hire a lawyer to file one though if you are unable to do so yourself.
