Learn MoreIt is not a legal requirement that your will must be prepared by an attorney. However, DIY wills are often one-size-fits-all templates that may not allow for customization to suit your specific needs and intentions. They are more prone to errors and ambiguities due to their generic nature. Minor mistakes or omissions in the wording, signing, or witnessing process can render a will invalid or subject to legal challenges.
There are many benefits to having a qualified and experienced attorney draft your will. These include:
A will is just one component of a comprehensive estate plan. Depending on your circumstances, you may benefit from other estate planning tools such as trusts, advance healthcare directives, or powers of attorney. Attorneys can provide guidance on the broader aspects of estate planning and help you create a comprehensive plan that reflects your unique circumstances, preferences, and goals.
Yes! Most often, the purchase of a home is the biggest investment an individual will ever make. While using an attorney may involve additional costs, their expertise can help safeguard your interests, minimize risks, and provide peace of mind throughout the home-buying process.
You should not sign a contract to buy real estate without consulting with a knowledgeable, qualified Real Estate Attorney. If you sign a contract and then discover the contract contains terms that you did not intend, it may be too late for an attorney to negotiate changes.
Just like in the practice of medicine, all attorneys do not practice in all areas of the law. The experienced Real Estate Attorneys at Sell Griffin McLain can review all documents related to the closing of your purchase to assure that the transaction concludes to your best benefit as smoothly as possible.
Choosing the right legal structure for your small business is an important first step. An attorney can explain the different options to you such as sole proprietorship, partnership, corporation, or an LLC, and help you select the best structure based on facts like liability protection, tax implications, management structure, and future growth.
Additionally, an attorney can assist with the necessary legal documents and processes involved in setting up your business. An attorney can draft and file formation documents that establish the legal foundation and structure of your business.
Establishing a relationship with an attorney early on can provide ongoing legal support as your business grows and faces new challenges. An attorney can advise you on contract negotiations, lease agreements, legal disputes, or any other issues that may arise.
At Sell Griffin McLain, it is our mission to help new business owners make informed decisions that protect their interests and minimize potential risks. Consulting with an attorney regarding topics such as legal structure, business registration, contracts and agreements, and liability and risk management can provide valuable legal insights and help you establish a solid foundation for your venture.
Foresight is always better than hindsight. While it may seem unnecessary or awkward to create an agreement with someone you trust, having a written agreement in place helps set clear expectations, defines each partner’s roles and responsibilities, and can prevent misunderstanding or disputes down the line.
Any agreement between parties in business should be legally documented to adhere to the laws of Texas. An experienced attorney in this area is able to draft a comprehensive document covering every detail of the agreement to avoid common risks, disagreements, misunderstandings, and pitfalls. The attorneys at Sell Griffin McLain have many years specializing in assisting clients organize and legally maintain small business entities.
