Legal Question in Construction Law in Massachusetts

Created my own contract

Hello I created my own contract

stating im not liable or responsible for

any damages that occur during or after

my installation. Basicaly i hung a tv for

someone nd made up a little contract

that was signed by eachother my

question is if her tv fell or even fell on

someone could she sue me? I mean

the contract was not notoized and she

asked me to hang it. She mentioned

that these contracts dont hold up

anyways , but isnt it somewhat a ldgal

binding between us both that we agree

that if anything happends im not

responsible?

Re: Created my own contract

A contract can be created without notarized signatures, and does not need to be prepared by an attorney to be valid.

Of course, if you are going to be doing this type of work, you may want to sit with an attorney and develop a contract that is fully enforceable and protects your interests.

Feel free to contact me if you would like me to review the contract in question, or if you have any other concerns.
