Legal documents are often filled with complex language that can be confusing to the average person. Yet, a simple signature on a contract, lease, or agreement can bind you to obligations you didn’t fully understand. At Brown and Company, we frequently assist clients who unknowingly signed away critical rights. Knowing what to look for can save you from serious legal consequences.
Before signing any legal document, always:
- Read the entire document slowly.
- Ask questions about anything unclear.
- Ensure all verbal promises are in writing.
- Check for blank spaces.
- Consult a lawyer for a professional review.
Even standard-looking agreements can have hidden clauses that are not in your favor.
“Never sign a document you don’t fully understand. A signature is permanent — your confusion isn’t.”
