Who is Responsible if Someone Gets Injured on My Property?
Video Summary
Who is responsible if someone gets injured on my property? If you are negligent in maintaining your property, then you can be held responsible for someone’s injuries. If you are not negligent and maintaining your property well, then the person who is injured needs to look to see whoever did injure them. If it’s themselves, well then you should not have any liability. Although that doesn’t necessarily mean that they may not try and sue you. However, you should not have any liability unless they can show that you were a negligent and maintaining your property. If you have vacant property, you should not be liable for any injury unless there is some hazard there that is, could be dangerous to people or an attractive nuisance, particularly as far as children are concerned. But if you simply maintain the property and then a trust pass or someone else who comes across your property, you may not have any liability to them as long as the property was not particularly maintained in a dangerous condition. So, if you have any questions about this and you can give me a call at (727) 847-2288.

Is the Copy of a Will Legal?
Video Summary
Is the copy of a Will legal? No, you cannot have introduced into the probate court a copy of a Will. You must produce the original Will of the decedent in order for it to be admitted to probate. If you cannot locate the original Will and it was last in the possession of the decedent, it’s presumed revoked. Sometimes folks say, well, I’ll have signed two originals that way. I’ll leave one with a lawyer and I’ll take one. Well, in that instance, you have to account for both signed copies or again, it’s presumed to be revoked. Many of my clients like to leave the original Will in my office, not provide them with a copy so that if their copy is lost or if I even lose the original, it’s not presumed revoked because it was not last in their possession. So, with an original Will, it has to be presented to the court and must have to be proved by warrant of the witnesses who testified before the clerk that it was signed and the presence of both witnesses and the decedent and declared to be the last Will and Testament. That’s called approval. And that’s the reason why Wills are notarized and that that’s a self-proving Will. So the proof is done at the same time. The Will assign, but a Will does not have to be notarized in order to be effective. If you have any questions about Wills, give me a call at (727) 847-2288.
