Trust Agreement

South Carolina

Asked on Feb 16, 2022

I would like to use my family trust as a business. How do I structure the trust or change terms to use it for business?

I have my home in a trust to pass on to my children. However I would like to use as a rental to help generate additional income.

Christopher B.

Answered Feb 21, 2022

You can structure the trust in several ways. It depends on exactly what your goals are, if you are looking for asset protection or another goal, tax goals, etc. Would need to speak with you to get some more information to help advise you on the best route to take to achieve your goals.

What is the most important thing for me to know as a small business?

I am starting my own business.

Donya G.

Answered Mar 31, 2021

Never sign a contract without a lawyer reviewing it. Signing a document and being obligated to a contract that has not been reviewed can be detrimental to your business. If you and the other party disagree on the agreement, it will cost approximately 5-10 times more to litigate and defend yourself than it would cost to review the initial document and ensure you and your company are protected. DISCLAIMER The answers to these questions do not constitute legal advice and does not create an attorney-client relationship with the attorney and anyone who reviews these responses.

Contractual Agreement

Florida

Asked on Jan 26, 2022

Hi there. My boss has me as a 1099 employee. Is she legally allowed to give us a contract that I have to sign?

I am a hairstylist. I pay my own taxes every year as a self employed person. Yet my boss sets rules and takes 50% of my commission. I have no idea if any of what she’s doing is legal.

Kristen R.

Answered Mar 8, 2022

I would need a lot more info to answer this question.. is she directing how you do your job? Is there a contractor agreement in place? Just having you sign a contract is not illegal, however.

Software Agreement

California

Asked on Oct 6, 2022

Can a SaaS company terminate and agreement with a client?

We are a SaaS company that wants to get out of a relationship with a client. What are our options?

Christopher M.

Answered Oct 7, 2022

Typically your options are going to be controlled by the SAAS Agreement or other contracts between you and the client. There should be a section in there called “Termination” or something similar. Really, it would require a review of the contract to give more specific advice on this one.

Joint Venture Partnership Agreement

Washington

Asked on Mar 21, 2023

Who pays expenses in a joint venture?

I am currently exploring the possibility of forming a joint venture with another company to pursue a business opportunity. However, I am unclear on how expenses related to the joint venture will be paid and whether each company is responsible for their own expenses or if they will be shared. Therefore, I would like to seek the advice of a lawyer to better understand the financial implications of a joint venture and ensure that my interests are protected.

Jane C.

Answered Mar 31, 2023

It depends on the language in the joint venture agreement.

Quick, user friendly and one of the better ways I've come across to get ahold of lawyers willing to take new clients.

View Trustpilot Review

Contracts Counsel was incredibly helpful and easy to use. I submitted a project for a lawyer's help within a day I had received over 6 proposals from qualified lawyers. I submitted a bid that works best for my business and we went forward with the project.

View Trustpilot Review

I never knew how difficult it was to obtain representation or a lawyer, and ContractsCounsel was EXACTLY the type of service I was hoping for when I was in a pinch. Working with their service was efficient, effective and made me feel in control. Thank you so much and should I ever need attorney services down the road, I'll certainly be a repeat customer.

View Trustpilot Review

I got 5 bids within 24h of posting my project. I choose the person who provided the most detailed and relevant intro letter, highlighting their experience relevant to my project. I am very satisfied with the outcome and quality of the two agreements that were produced, they actually far exceed my expectations.
