Most people will never get the answers they seek.Our Politicians will never get the answers they need.It’s not because they’re stupid, although it sometimes looks that way. It’s because they don’t ask the right questions. You can never get the correct answer if you don’t ask the right question. Most lawyers understand this, and they also understand that they should never ask a question to which they don’t already know the answer. That’s not the case for you or me. For many life and business decisions, we have to ask many questions before we can discover the correct question to ask and get the answers we need. Usually, we make decisions based on limited information because if we wait to get all the data, the decision has been made for us, not usually in our favour. I asked a few questions while reading a contract to sell our home, to which the salesperson said, “Oh, we never act on that clause.” I crossed out the clause, initialled it, and requested the salesperson do the same. He claimed I couldn’t do that because it was a ‘standard contract‘. I informed him that there was no such thing, and if the clause wasn’t needed, it should be removed. I then proceeded to do the same with two other punitive clauses. Asking the right questions enabled me to eliminate potentially expensive additional fees. The lessons for you are that each contract you sign is unique to you and the other party, and you can remove clauses you don’t like. If they refuse to accept that, walk away. Regards, P.S.
