This book is intended to help people quickly understand and more confidently work with matters that involve the inter-related business, estate planning, lending, and real estate law worlds – hopefully lessening the time they'd otherwise spend researching or learning about the law or paying (and waiting upon) a lawyer to explain it to them. While perhaps not everything we discuss is ultimately the law in your state, it's still a great insight into the law generally, how it works, and will definitely teach you about how to think about the law in many different areas… Thereby helping you leverage your time more effectively when you stumble into situations that involve this material. This book will benefit a large audience including: · Landmen, those in the oil & gas industry & those who have leased acreage · Store owners & merchants (whether brick & mortar or virtual stores) · Large & small business owners (and those with employees) · Those in the Cannabis industry (or thinking about getting into it) · Insurance people and producers · Risk Managers (including paralegals, office managers and their staff) · Homeowners & parents (of kids under 18) · Those forming wills, trusts & doing estate planning · Those dealing in the Uniform Commercial Code · Brokers, realtors, real estate developers & investors · Those dealing in intellectual property & trade secrets · Homebuilders · Landlords & tenants · Property managers · Entrepreneurs · Teachers & students · Consumers · Insurance policy holders · Commercial artists · Bankers & finance people Again, as with any book on the law, you'll want to confirm everything you read and learn here with qualified counsel in your own, specific state and circumstances. However, this is a very unique work and will, as perhaps a first of its kind, become very helpful in your daily, personal and professional lives… At the very least, it will help you work with your lawyer (and his or her time) much more cost-effectively.
