- Q. Should I seek an employment or business lawyer for direct contract issues?
- A: From my understanding of your explanation of the facts, this appears to be primarily a business dispute based on a breach of contract. There could potentially be some employment issues intertwined. I would recommend starting off by consulting with a business attorney that litigates these sort of disputes.
- Q. Purchase Agreement Lacks Execution Date: Force Execution or Seek Release of Contract with Pending Permit?
- A: The law generally provides that if a contract does not have a time frame, it is considered an "at will contract." Thus, you may be able to terminate the contract, however, we would have to review the terms of the contract to verify that is an option. Ultimately, the parties should likely execute a mutual release if the intention is to terminate the contract.
- Q. Can I recover $77,000 given to son and daughter-in-law without an agreement?
- A: You may be able to assert a claim for what is known as "unjust enrichment." Depending on the specifics of circumstances and what lead to you giving them the money, there may be other claims as well. Often times, in these situations, the other party is not going to simply pay. You will probably need to file suit.
