Can AI draft your Will?
The allure of a quick and ‘free’ Will created by an AI tool might be tempting. However, when it comes to your final wishes and the distribution of your estate, it’s important to proceed with caution. Relying solely on AI to create your Will carries substantial risks and may not meet the legal requirements.
Business Matters
What makes a contract legally binding?
If you sell a product or service of any kind, you will need a contract with your clients. In simple terms, a contract is a legally binding agreement between you and the customer. It outlines your obligations to each other. Once a contract is signed by both parties, they are legally bound to comply with its terms.
