Not a lot of facts to go off of here, except that you are saying that you signed and recorded some quit claim deeds a few years ago while you lacked capacity and now you want to void the deed.

If you were under duress or undue influence by the person to whom you signed them over to, you... View More

The four corners rule basically states that the Court will look no further than the four corners of the document (contract) to determine what the terms of the agreement are. The exception to this is if there are ambiguities in the contract, if there are the Court will look for outside information... View More

Hello,

I am sorry to hear about this. Are they claiming a defect in the work? Did you have a contract that outlined the work and timing of payments?

In any case you have two remedies, you can usually put a mechanic's lien on the real estate, which will have to paid if the... View More

Lawyers are very intelligent and highly trained professionals--but we are not soothsayers; nor do we do crystal balls. Therefore, I am constrained by a fundamental law of the universe (no one can tell the future) and unable to opine on your current dilemma. The only way you can bee 100% sure if you... View More

I do not practice law in Utah--but I am very well aware of how easy it is these days to trick people into doing something they never intended to do. However, that said, I also know how easy it is for THE BUSINESS (not you) to hire lawyer to take up the business' mantle and push back at... View More

Thank you for your question; you have created a great teaching opportunity:

Answer: There is no generic form because each contract is different.

FYI: Unlike the military, IRS, government agencies and all other bureaucratic organizations--that love to create standard forms that... View More

This depends on your contract. You need to first look at the contract. What are the terms for early cancellation?

I am not aware of any state law that allows someone to back out of a contract within a certain period of time. The best advice I would give would be to look at the contract... View More

Yes.

It doesn't matter who the parties are, unless one of them is a minor or if fraud was involved. Non profits are just as liable as other people.

In my opinion it would be difficult to persuade a Court that you should get damages. If the lease is silent on the matter, you would have to show detrimental reliance. Meaning, that they knew it would cost you if you didn't get the space on time, and that you relied on their representation... View More

Contracts with auto-renewals are valid. It cuts both ways, if you didn't want to move they couldn't terminate the contract for another year.

More common than the auto renewal contract is the one that goes a month to month after the expiration of the initial term.

I am... View More

Yes, the contract is enforceable. If the business is expired, the only thing that it means is that, they can get in trouble with the department of corporations and they may be personally liable rather than having the limited liability they probably thought they had.

I hope this helps.

Contracts are enforceable against those who have signed them. So if you signed a lease but the LL never did, then they could hold you to it, but you might not be able to hold them to it. Signatures are just one method of "acceptance" of a contract. Performance is another. So if you... View More

Good question, it seems like you have understood the issues correctly. Your question of whether the breach is a "significant enough" breach is on point.

I think that you could certainly make a good argument that it is. The buildup of waste on a property due to non-disposal could... View More

Hi,

Sounds like a great business. Yes, I think that if you are taking on the liability, then you will want to make sure that you are passing the liability on to the actual participants of those events.

Ideally your participants would take on the liability directly from the venue,... View More

I am sorry for your frustration.

The first place would be to look at the service agreement or contract with Lumber Liquidators. If that doesn't have much, poke around on their website or call their customer service and instead of asking for them to fix it, ask for a copy of their... View More

Hello,

Although everything is working without having changed it, you should probably go to the DMV and fill out a small estate affidavit for motor vehicles to get her name off of the title. If you don't, your wife's siblings may have some claim on the car. The Personal... View More

Well, if you owe them the money for the damage you caused, it seems that they simply applied "self-help," and got the money back from you quickly through your check. I don't know that there is any legal action you can bring to recover the money, unless you truly don't owe the... View More

Yes,

You can get sued if you are from a different country barring diplomatic immunity, but for the common traveler/tourist, yes you can be sued as long as you meet the minimum contacts in the states. The main question on this is Jurisdiction and service of process. An analysis would fill... View More

Hello,

I am not sure I understand the situation. Let me see if I have this correct: 1) You purchased a dog from an organization for less than $500. 2) Later you changed your mind.

I am trouble understanding what 2) is intended to mean. Are you saying that you changed your mind... View More

This is a good question, in addition to the issue of whether or not someone can enforce a contract that has been altered from the original provisions agreed to, there might be an issue of whether this was a contract at all.

In all contracts, there has to be "consideration" or... View More
