Tenant Lawsuit Prevention Steps

Summary

To prevent a tenant from suing you over an inheritance, consider drafting a Release of Liability or Hold Harmless Agreement. This document should clearly state the parties involved and specify the scope of the release, such as any claims related to inheritance. Ensure both parties sign and date the document. Consulting with a lawyer is recommended to ensure the agreement is legally binding and comprehensive. For legal assistance, you can contact the Colorado Bar Association.
