Re: home construction plans
Q1. Who drew the plans?
Q2. Who owns the intellectual property right to the plan?
I wouldn't expect you to know the answer to the foregoing questions, which makes it important for
you to contact a real estate attorney and get competent advise. If you are not near my office, 2 suggestions:
(1) contact you local bar association and get a referral to a REAL ESTATE attorney; (2) contact ATGF.com; they should have
a listing of real estate attorneys there on the web site.
