What is Collaborative Law?
Fort Lauderdale Collaborative Law Attorney, Kim Douglas Sherman, says: “The difference is all about the attorneys.” “Yes,” you want a mature, peaceful parting. Lucky for you, your spouse wants the same, but you have some differences on the resolutions of child rearing and child sharing, and the division of properties and debts. You do not […]
Collaborative Law Solves Dispute Over Adult Child.
Recently, I had a couple seeking a divorce and wanting to handle their disputes using the Collaborative Law Approach. Simply put, “Collaborative Family Law” is an effective, pre-lawsuit team effort to resolve family law issues where the attorneys and spouses agree that the lawyers will not litigate, and the lawyers and other engaged professionals (mental […]
What is a Valid Will in Florida?
If you or someone you care about wants to express how they want their assets to be distributed at the time of their death, they should make a Last Will and Testament. We call it simply, “a will.” Florida law is very clear on the formalities required to make an enforceable will. Florida Statutes, Section […]
If you are Buying Real Estate with Someone Other than your Spouse, Have a Written Partnership Agreement.
When my clients are contemplating purchasing commercial or residential real property with another person who is not their spouse, there are many important issues for them to consider. This blog will touch on some of the most important matters to be considered BEFORE PURCHASE. When real estate transactions involve thousands of dollars, having a lawyer […]
Attorney Sherman Teaches Civics Class.
Recently, as one of the Florida Lawyers participating in the Florida Supreme Court, Justice Teaching Program, I was invited to teach a civics class to students in fifth grade through high school. The class was presented with a lesson called, “The Invaders.” It is brilliantly designed to immerse the students in current issues and their […]
Beware of the ‘Standard’ Contract!
I am often asked to review contracts for the sale of residential real estate–homes, condominiums, and cooperative units. There are many forms of contracts in use, but beware of the contracts that are called “standard contracts.” Just because a contract is printed, from a computer or otherwise, does not mean that its terms are required […]
A Power of Attorney cannot be used after the person has died.
This week I was contacted by a former client who presented a serious legal problem. She had been living with her special friend, in the home that was in the friend’s sole name. The friend had made a will leaving everything to my client. Suddenly, the friend was stricken by a life-ending illness and was […]
In Divorces, Look out for the Moving Target.
This past week I spent a considerable amount of time in an effort to help my client to see that there was not going to be any winning through the court system. She was emotionally drained and physically ill from years of disputes with her former husband. What became clear, from our point of view, was […]
It is Important to Understand and Use Evidence.
“Evidence” is all the means by which any alleged matter of fact, the truth of which is submitted to investigation, is established or disproved. Having practiced for over forty years as a Civil Law Attorney, I recommend that there are several types of evidence, which you should know about. “Oral evidence” is when someone is […]
In Divorces, Look at the Big Picture.
We need to get along. I spent a whole day in trial recently so that a mother could vent her frustration with the children’s father. She wanted to take away the father’s overnights with the children and she wanted to be the sole decision maker for the children’s major decisions. The Judge concluded that she […]
Where is the Will?
Recently, I was asked to serve as a personal representative [it used to be called “executor”] of a twelve million dollar estate. The lady had died in a nursing home and had made a will that in large part was to benefit a religious organization and a good friend. There was no doubt that she […]
