Legal Question in Business Law in New Jersey

Thank you for your LawGuru question. Frankly, you shouldn't use any form. It would be prudent to get legal advice. If properly protecting yourself would be a matter of using a form, there would be no need for law schools, bar exams, attorney licensing, and continuing education requirements. Please feel free to contact me so that I can protect your legal rights. 973-921-0600.

Kindly note and remember that my response is merely a general comment on the law related to your question, and NOT legal advice or opinion. Also, your question and my response does NOT create an attorney-client relationship between us. You cannot rely upon what I have written, because I do not have all of the information that I need to advise you or render an opinion. Even simple facts you have not shared can completely change my answer. For me to give you legal advice or opinion, you would need to hire me to be your lawyer, and then we would need to discuss this in detail and go over the documents.

IRS CIRCULAR 230 DISCLOSURE: As required by U.S. Treasury Regulations governing tax practice, you are hereby advised that written advice contained herein (if any) was not written or intended to be used (and cannot be used) by any taxpayer for the purpose of avoiding penalties that may be imposed under the U.S. Internal Revenue Code.

As a Franchise Attorney I agree entirely with the other attorney answer. You need a nondisclosure that is tailored to (a) your specific circumstances; and (b) the laws of the individual states where you and the person signing are located. Consult with a good business or franchise attorney in your area for specific advice.
