BEFORE YOU… FRIDAYS

Before You Assume a Verbal Agreement Is Enough...Check with Us.

A conversation or handshake may seem sufficient at the time, but disagreements can become much harder to resolve when there isn't a written record of what everyone agreed to.

Before relying on a verbal agreement:

✔️ Put important terms in writing
✔️ Clearly define everyone's responsibilities
✔️ Confirm payment amounts and deadlines
✔️ Save relevant emails, texts, and other communications
✔️ Don't rely solely on memory when the stakes are high

If an agreement is important, putting it in writing can help prevent confusion later.

Adding someone to a deed can have significant legal and financial consequences. Before making the change:

✔️ Understand what ownership rights you're giving them.
✔️ Consider how the property could be affected by future disputes.
✔️ Think about what happens if the relationship changes.
✔️ Understand what could happen if either owner dies, sells, or wants to divide the property.
✔️ Get legal advice before making a decision you may not be able to easily undo.

A name on a deed can mean more than you think. Know the consequences before you sign. Call us at 480-681-5408

This week for our series, Safety Tip Tuesday: Parking Lots

Parking lots can be more dangerous than they look.

Between cars backing out, pedestrians walking between vehicles, and distracted drivers, accidents can happen in seconds.

✔️ Avoid distractions while driving or walking.

Take a little extra care in the parking lot—it could prevent an accident.
