Blank Liability Release: Fill & Download for Free

<STANDARD ATTORNEY DISCLAIMER: I AM NOT YOUR ATTORNEY AND THIS IS NOT BINDING LEGAL ADVICE. YMMV>Strictly speaking, you don't need one, but you should probably get one.One of the things lawyers do not like to talk about is that we are not in fact imbued with comprehensive knowledge of legal situations and drafting documents by a legal education and passing the bar. We just have a good idea of how law works, hedging against possible legal outcomes, and how to research the solutions other lawyers have previously come up with.All of this means you can do the job yourself IF you are willing to take the risk and do some legwork (and you have to do it to yourself. Another non lawyer doing it for you is likely the illegal practice of law if they're doing anything more than providing a fill-in-the-blanks form). You can look up various forms and other releases used in similar situations and tailor them to your situation.Arguably, the primary purpose of a liability release is to make the other party think, ‘oh I signed a release, so I can't sue if anything happens', and anything that looks reasonably official is likely to work unless a really expensive mishap happens that gets a lawyer involved down the road.However, one thing to keep in mind is that the precision and comprehensiveness of the release is just one big factor- the other is not being invalidated by overreach. For example, most of the time, a release cannot absolve a party of their own negligence- you can't make a shitty product and then sign a release with the person selling it that says they and not you are financially responsible for the shittiness of the product. Trying to do so can get the release ruled invalid in part or as a whole if it comes to a lawsuit. So you don't want to go overboard and say ‘this release gets me off the hook for any conceivable outcome of this interaction forever throughout the universe'. A lawyer will know much better than you how to thread this needle.Bottom line, if you need this for single instance where an accident is unlikely to result and/or not cost too much, you might be ok simply comparing a few releases and tailoring language to your needs. Otherwise, hiring a lawyer is like an insurance policy- worth it for peace of mind and in case anything goes wrong. Plus, it will likely only cost you a few hundred bucks to have a release drafted. Totally worth it to ensure against multiple lawsuits or millions from a big accident.

In your opinion, what is the maximum amount of gun control that should be in the US? (From background checks to any extreme gun control attempts.)While I generally disdain gun control, the question has been put to me what rules would I impose, and I felt it to be a fair question. This is a working list, the best rules I’ve come up with so far, to both not abridge individual liberty, yet still deal with criminal misuse of arms.The right of the people to be secure in their persons and property, the need for self-defense and civil defense, being vital to the liberty of a free people, the right of the people, in part and in whole, to keep and bear arms, shall be subject only to the following abridgements.For the purposes of this article, arms shall be defined as any armament, weapon, ordinance, munition, or tool, used in warfare, self-defense, civil defense, hunting, or sport, designed or used in the present, past, or future, as well as parts, accessories, components, or ammunition for same.Atomic, Biological, and Chemical weapons, suitable only for aggressive warfare, being tools of International Affairs and matters of State, being useful only as strategic weapons, are not protected by this article.Any person, upon reaching the age of legal majority, may own, carry, and use, arms of any sort, as well as ammunition, accessories, or components for same.Any person, not yet of the age of majority, may not own firearms, explosives, or incendiaries, but is not prohibited from owning arms of any other sort.Any person, not yet of the age of majority, is not prohibited from carrying and using arms of any sort that they may own, as well as ammunition, accessories, or components for same.Any person, not yet of the age of majority, may carry and use arms of any sort, with the permission of a parent or legal guardian, and under the supervision of a person who has reached the age of majority.There being a danger of negligent discharge to the public, any municipality may restrict the discharge of firearms for purely recreational purposes.Municipalities must provide means for the people to construct and own safe recreational firing facilities.Municipalities may not restrict recreational discharge of firearms on private property where the projectile discharged is contained within the property.Municipalities may not restrict the discharge of firearms used in self-defense.No person may be denied the right to arms, but upon criminal conviction for a violent crime, and restricted only to the type of arm used in the commission of the crime for which said person was convicted.Upon ten years of good conduct, with no further conviction of violent crime of any sort, this abridgment is expired.Upon repeat conviction of a violent felony, the term of abridgment is reset and five years added.Any person, upon reaching the age of majority, retains the right to restrict or deny the carrying of arms only within or upon their house, dwelling, or personal property owned by said person.If a property is owned personally by more than one person, all persons must agree to deny the right of the people to carry arms.Such denial must be stated verbally or in written form, and announced or posted before non-owners have entered the property, to be valid.Such denial may not be enforced against sworn law enforcement officers or military personnel in the commission of their duties.Such denial may not be enforced at public venues, even if used or reserved for private events.That fees, licenses, and registrations, have been used to enforce a de-facto ban and denial of the right to arms, to restrict the right to arms to the social elite, and to mutate the right to arms into a privilege, no fees, licenses, or registrations may be levied on the people to exercise their right to arms.This article shall not be used or construed to release any person from liability for criminal negligence or criminal maliciousness, resulting in injury to persons or damage to property by use of arms.Persons or the estates of persons injured or killed while in the commission of a crime, have no right to claim liability upon persons defending themselves or others.The State or Federal Government are not prohibited from implementing a background check system, providing such system meets the following stipulations.Qualifying crimes are restricted to conviction of violent crimes, or convictions of violations of this article.Any Background Check system implemented must provide swift satisfaction.

I am not a lawyer. I have tried to cover all bases here. If my wording or intent is anywhere unclear, or if you feel I have omitted something vital, please let me know in the comments and I shall either explain how it is addressed already, or adjust my answer accordingly.Please note, as I expect this issue to arise, if your reply has to do with issues such as carrying openly or concealed, suppressors, SBRs, or similar, such issues are already addressed in Section 16. In that, as none of those issues are expressly addressed, they are by default permitted.This answer is updated from Murphy Barrett's answer to Starting from a blank slate in the US, what forms of constitutional firearm regulations would gun owners support?

If the pink slip is in the seller’s name, the seller needs only:Release interest (sign and date line 1a). If there are two registered owners separated by the word AND, then you’ll need line 1b as well.Complete the odometer disclosure (reading, sign and date as seller). If the car is more than 10 years old, this portion is not required.Tear off the Notice of Transfer and Release of Liability. Collect the buyer’s information using this form. You could mail it in, but I recommend filing online instead.There’s no need for the seller to do anything else to the title. The back is for the buyer to worry about.If you have adequate time to prepare in advance, I recommend visiting DMV (or an auto club) to obtain two original watermarked REG 262 forms. These are transfer forms with signature lines for both buyer and seller. Complete and sign two originals, crossing out the power of attorney section. Each party keeps a fully executed original.If you can’t get hold of REG 262, you can download REG 135 instead, but these do not have signature lines for the buyer. Less than ideal, but better than nothing. Leave the DL number blank though. You don’t need to share that information.
