"I came to ContractsCounsel needing a Florida probate attorney to review court filings I had drafted for two related estates in Sumter County. Both of my parents passed away within four weeks of each other, and what started as a straightforward summary administration became significantly more complicated when an $80,000 life insurance policy was discovered after the initial court order had already been entered. I needed to vacate the summary administration, open formal administration, and file a separate petition for my father's estate — six court documents total, plus supporting filings. I had been quoted $3,000 by other attorneys for this work. Gill reviewed everything for $250. But the price only tells part of the story. Gill turned the entire review around in a single day. He went through every document, made redline edits with track changes so I could see exactly what he added, and sent detailed messages explaining his reasoning. His edits were substantive — he added paragraphs the court requires that I had missed, flagged formatting conventions specific to probate court, and identified additional documents I needed to file (oath of PR, notice of confidential filing, affidavit of heirs). He uploaded samples of each one so I had a template to work from. What really set Gill apart was his willingness to go beyond the scope of a basic document review. He agreed to serve as my designated resident agent for both estates — a requirement for nonresident personal representatives in Florida — which saved me the time and cost of finding a separate Florida attorney for that role. He answered every follow-up question I had promptly and thoroughly. I was handling this pro se from out of state and was honestly nervous about whether my filings would hold up. Gill told me my documents were "very well drafted," made the targeted improvements the court would expect, and gave me the confidence to move forward. His knowledge of Florida probate procedure is clearly deep, and his communication style is straightforward and practical. If you need a Florida probate attorney — whether for a full engagement or a limited review like mine — I cannot recommend Gill highly enough. The value he delivered for the price is extraordinary. Five stars without hesitation."

Commercial Real Estate Legal Questions and Answers

Commercial Building Lease

Florida

Asked on Mar 21, 2023

What's permitted use in a commercial lease?

I am in the process of negotiating a commercial lease for my business and I am interested in understanding the concept of "permitted use." Specifically, I am curious about what activities are allowed in the leased space and what limitations there may be. I would like to consult with a lawyer to ensure that the terms of the lease align with the needs of my business and that I am not at risk of violating any provisions.

Diane D.

Answered Mar 21, 2023

Permitted use means that you can only use it for the reason you rented it. For example, you cannot rent a place to use as a gym but then use it for a nightclub.

Commercial Lease

North Carolina

Asked on Apr 26, 2023

How is the rent determined in a commercial lease agreement?

I am a small business owner looking to rent a space for my business. I am currently in negotiations with the landlord of a commercial property and we are discussing the terms of the lease agreement. We have reached a point where we need to discuss the rent and how it will be determined. I need to understand more about how rent is determined in commercial leases so that I can negotiate a fair and reasonable agreement.

N'kia N.

Answered May 19, 2023

In North Carolina, commercial rent is commonly calculated as a set dollar amount per square foot. This dollar amount is usually based on factors like location, age, condition, accessibility, and amenities. However, there is no requirement for rent to be determined this way. Unlike a residential lease agreement, the terms of a commercial lease agreement can be almost anything that the parties mutually agree to. As a word of caution, in North Carolina, commercial tenants do not have the same degree of legal protections as residential tenants. For just one example, a tenant who wishes to terminate a commercial lease early may be responsible for the entire remainder of the rent unless the lease agreement says otherwise.

Purchase Agreement

Washington

Asked on Oct 31, 2023

Are purchase agreements confidential?

I recently made an offer to purchase a commercial property and the seller has asked me to sign a purchase agreement. I am unfamiliar with the terms of the agreement and want to make sure that it is kept confidential. I am concerned about the potential for the details of the purchase agreement to be publicly disclosed and want to know if purchase agreements are confidential.

Merry K.

Answered Nov 14, 2023

I hope that you used the assistance of a WA State commercial real estate attorney to advise you in the writing and presentation of your offer to purchase a commercial property, as these can be extremely complicated. (Or, at the very least, I hope you were represented by an experienced and knowledgeable buyer's agent). To my knowledge, this type of PSA agreement is not required to be confidential unless you included that language in your offer. Please be aware that once the sale closes, the amount of the purchase price will be public information, in county records.

Construction Agreement

Texas

Asked on Dec 10, 2024

Can a construction contractor terminate a construction agreement without cause?

I recently entered into a construction agreement with a contractor to renovate my commercial property. However, the contractor has been consistently behind schedule and the quality of work has been subpar. I am concerned about the progress of the project and the contractor's ability to complete it satisfactorily. I would like to know if the contractor has the right to terminate the construction agreement without cause, or if I have any legal recourse to hold them accountable for their performance and potentially terminate the agreement myself.

Lorraine C.

Answered Dec 11, 2024

That situation sounds frustrating, to be sure. The termination rights of both parties should have been clearly defined in the construction agreement. It would be best for you to have an experienced transactional attorney review the contract terms and discuss the issues you are having so that you can receive advice specific to your situation. Regardless, I highly recommend that you document any quality of work or performance issues in writing and with pictures, if applicable. That way, if you do decide to terminate the contract later (with an attorney's guidance), you will have the proof you may need to support your claim.

Office Space Lease

New York

Asked on Dec 23, 2024

Can a landlord terminate an office space lease before the agreed-upon term ends?

I recently signed a lease agreement for office space for my small business, but due to unforeseen circumstances, I may need to relocate sooner than anticipated. I want to know if the landlord has the right to terminate the lease before the agreed-upon term ends, and if so, what are the potential consequences for me as the tenant? I am concerned about any financial penalties or obligations that may arise from terminating the lease early.

Damien B.

Answered Dec 24, 2024

A landlord could agree to terminate the lease if a tenant requests it or can modify a lease to allow for an option for a tenant to vacate the premises at an earlier date. If a tenant wants to vacate the premises on an earlier date than the lease end date, either the landlord would have to agree to the earlier termination date or the tenant could be found in breach of contract. If you are considering early termination, it's advisable to communicate with the landlord to explore possible solutions, such as subleasing, assigning the lease, or negotiating a modification to the lease agreement. Feel free to reach out if you have other questions about this.
