Common questions
A few helpful answers before we talk.
These answers are general information. Your circumstances and documents will shape the guidance for your matter.
Have another question?When should I involve an attorney in a real estate transaction?
It can be helpful to speak with an attorney before signing a purchase or sale contract. Early review may help identify terms, deadlines, title concerns, or other issues that deserve attention before closing.
Do I need an estate plan if I do not have a large estate?
Estate planning is not only about the size of an estate. It can document who should receive property, who may make decisions on your behalf, and how healthcare wishes should be handled.
What is the difference between a will and a revocable living trust?
A will generally directs the distribution of property after death and can address other matters. A revocable living trust can hold and manage assets during your lifetime and after death. The appropriate approach depends on your assets, goals, and circumstances.
What legal documents does a new business need?
That depends on the business and its owners. Formation documents, governing agreements, and well-drafted contracts are common starting points. An attorney can help you consider the structure and documents suited to your plans.
Does contacting the firm make you my attorney?
No. An attorney-client relationship begins only after the firm agrees to represent you and you sign an engagement agreement.
