Why is an LOI one of the most important documents in a commercial real estate transaction?

An LOI or letter of intent is generally a non-binding document that spells out the understanding and overall agreement between the parties in a commercial real estate transaction. The letter serves to highlight the main points of the transaction, confirm both parties are committed to moving forward in good faith and is used as a guide for creating the binding contract. Although many business owners think of an LOI as non-binding there are instances where some courts have held them to be an enforceable contract. To be sure your LOI has the appropriate language consider having the document reviewed by an attorney before accepting the terms or sending the letter out to be accepted. The Boutty Law Firm has years of experience to help you and is available to provide document drafts and reviews. Call (407) 622-1395. https://bouttylaw.com.

How can I keep my estate out of probate?

The most effective way to avoid probate is to create a living trust during your lifetime. With a trust, you will be able to have the people and instructions in place for how your assets will be managed. The trust is a legal structure and involves three parties, the settlor, the trustee, and the beneficiary. The person who creates the trust is the settlor, the trustee is the person named by the settlor to manage the assets placed within the trust and the beneficiary is the person or class of people designated to receive the assets placed in the trust. At the Boutty Law Firm, we can help determine if your estate can be structured effectively to avoid probate. Call our office at (407) 622-1395. https://bouttylaw.com

Might you need a probate litigation attorney?

Most any challenge or legal contest filed with the Probate Court after someone passes away or as a result of mental incapacity may likely be referred to as probate litigation. You may be wise to seek legal help in a variety of circumstances. For example, the validity of a will or trust is being challenged due to a lack of testamentary capacity or there was pressure and the person creating the will or trust made decisions due to pressure or the influence of someone else. In addition, modification or reformation lawsuits may be necessary to change certain provisions that affect the heirs. Other examples include suspected criminal activity and collecting on a large debt owed by the deceased. In Florida, there is a very small window of time, a few weeks or a few months depending on your situation, for you to file. If you find yourself in this kind of scenario contact our office immediately. (407) 622-1395. https://bouttylaw.com/contact-us/
