A: As you might imagine, the answer will rest in any written agreements ... any written email, text communications ... and/or other currently missing information ... the next step is for you to schedule a free initial video call or telephone call ... for further discussion ...
A: As my colleague has stated, it would depend on what the contract that you signed actually says. Generally there's a clause or two about who takes responsibility for the project being put on hold, or how to handle the contract if something happens, (like the "head guy dying"). If there isn't anything in the contract that directs this circumstance, you would likely want to get a lawyer to view the contract, and any other communication over the past 2 years that may have "modified" the contract.
